LUNA FÊTE 2021

Pictured above, Gallier Hall, with its stately columns, never looked more amazing as it did during the holiday season back in 2014. French artist team, La Maison Production designed a video and sound installation to delight viewers! The installation, entitled "Luna Fete" (which stands for "light up NOLA Arts") projected across the entire facade of the historic building.

This year the 8th edition of LUNA Fête 2021 will be in a new location this year!

“Arts Council New Orleans LUNA Fête returns with A New Glow. Presented by the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center and New Orleans & Company, LUNA Fête's Eight Edition will transform the wonderfully walkable Convention Center Pedestrian Park, featuring three new, permanent light sculptures along with a delightful selection of temporary art installations and musical performances, plus our famous holiday Arts Market. This year’s festival will be anchored by a new projection from the internationally award-winning artist Bart Kresa.”

2019 Pioneer Christmas at Mile Branch Settlement

This holiday, step back in time to experience an old fashioned Christmas like something out of a book or movie by paying a visit to the Mile Branch Settlement's Pioneer Christmas in Franklinton, LA. For those who have not heard of the Mile Branch Settlement, it is a pioneer village, created using historic cabins relocated from places all over Washington Parish.  The first cabin was moved to the site in 1976.  Now over 20 historic structures are present, which serve the purpose of preserving the history/culture of the 1800's and early 1900's as well as the cabins themselves.   Each year, at Christmas, the village is transformed into what one would see and experience at a typical "pioneer" Christmas.   The village comes alive with arts, crafts, decorations, music, food, and folks dressed in period costumes. There is even a visit from Santa himself.   The Pioneer Christmas is only open for two days on Saturday, December 1st and Sunday, December 2nd.  Our Frugal Family Travelers have visited Mile Branch Settlement's Pioneer Christmas in past years and are looking forward to this yet again!   Mark your calendar, you won't want to miss this neat opportunity!
