Rebellious Spirits: Prohibition and Resistance in the South
Starts: 03/01/2024 - Ends: 01/05/2025
New Orleans Museum of Art presents the Rebellious Spirits: Prohibition and Resistance in the South exhibition. "After more than 50 years of vigorous debate led by a religious Temperance Movement, the 18th Amendment was added to the Constitution in 1919, prohibiting the manufacture, sale, and transport of alcohol in the United States. Though it would only last 14 years, the period of Prohibition radically altered the relationship between Americans and alcohol.
Rebellious Spirits: Prohibition and Resistance in the South presents a variety of objects ranging from 18th-century porcelain to 20th-century photography to capture the traditions in design and culture that were altered during this tumultuous period of history. Looking closely at the craftsmanship of cocktail shakers, liquor jugs, and cocktail glasses from the period reveals a vibrant story of resilience as Americans improvised methods to continue the production, distribution, and enjoyment of illicit spirits. The material culture of Prohibition in the South, exemplified by the experiences in New Orleans where intoxicating beverages were never truly underground, underscores the human tendency to adapt and preserve cultural traditions, even during times of strict prohibition. Objects demonstrate how legislation can shape not only consumption patterns but also local economies and social interactions.
Featuring collection objects from NOMA and other New Orleans collections and including music from the period, Rebellious Spirits takes you back to a time of innovation and rampant liquor consumption, despite the law." ~per their website

Annual Bayou Classic Thanksgiving Day Parade
Starts: 11/28/2024 - Ends: 11/28/2024
"What is Bayou Classic?
It started out as a simple football game between two rival, historically Black universities and now, more than four decades later, it has morphed into a citywide celebration.This year's Annual Bayou Classic is a multi-day event featuring a parade, a battle of the bands, and much more. All of these events culminate with a football matchup between the Tigers of Grambling State and the Jaguars of Southern University on Saturday, November 30.
The Rivalry
The rivalry between the two schools dates back to 1974, when the first Bayou Classic was held in New Orleans' Tulane Stadium. Since then, tens of thousands of fans have gathered at the Caesars Superdome, not only for this so-called “Bayou Clash” game, but also for what is now almost a full week of festivities in New Orleans.
Both teams, over the years, have produced an astounding number of players who went on to the NFL and other professional football leagues, some of whom are enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Longtime Grambling Head Coach, the late Eddie Robinson, who led his team to the first five Bayou Classic triumphs, is the winningest coach in NCAA Division I football history with 408 victories.
When is Bayou Classic?
The big game kicks off at 1 p.m, Saturday, November 30.
One of the entertainment highlights of the lead-up to the big game is provided by the two schools' marching bands. The Grambling "Marching Tigers" and the Southern "Human Jukebox" will again compete in a "Battle of the Bands" event held the night before the game in the Superdome. Catch all the action on Friday, November 29. Find the full schedule of events here.
Where is Bayou Classic?
The big game is held at the Caesars Superdome | 1500 Sugar Bowl Dr, New Orleans, LA 70112.
