Garden District Association flags could be seen flying throughout the neighborhood as New Orleanians of the historic neighborhood came together for the annual “Fall Affair.” Patrons attending the party were all given green and white flags with the Garden District logo to hang on the front of their home.

The Benefactor Party, hosted at the St. Charles Avenue home of Jim Ashbee and Jim Perrier, featured hors d’oeuvres by Commander’s Palace and a specialty cocktail, The District Marker, in honor of the PIPP program. In lieu of music, the Saints game was on TVs as the crowd gathered around to watch the Saints victory.

Approximately 225 guests then gathered at Commander’s Palace to enjoy cocktails and dinner.

In keeping with the classic Southern theme, mint julep cups were filled with vibrant colored Ecuadorian roses, hydrangeas, wax flower and variegated greens.
