Whitney White Linen Night
One of summer’s premier see-and-be-seen events in New Orleans, Whitney White Linen Night is a way to drink, socialize, and look at art from some of the city’s wonderful galleries on Julia Street on Saturday, Aug. 5. While not a requirement, it’s recommended to wear (you guessed it) white linen, or at least white clothing. It’s free and open to the public. Information, cacno.org.
Dirty Linen Night
On August 12th, White Linen Night’s less formal offshoot, Dirty Linen Night, takes over Royal Street. Attendees can enter Royal Street galleries and antique shops, as well as enjoy food, drinks, and music. Many participating businesses give away dirty martinis and dirty rice. It’s free and open to the public. Information, DirtyLinenNOLA.com.
Red Dress Run
On August 12th, men and women alike put on their best red dresses and run through the French Quarter. Okay, many of them don’t run, they just walk, drink beer, and socialize. But it’s all in fun and all for a good cause. Registration benefits more than 100 charities, so please make sure you register at NOLARedDress.com and don’t just show up in the Quarter on the 12th with a cooler full of beer. This year’s event will start at Crescent Park.
