Evenings with Enrique

Knowing the financial burdens  associated with being sick, we like to periodically feature  free evens in the city.

A free event in the Botanical Garden

Series Features Extended Hours, Entertainment, and Free Admission on Wednesday Evenings in October (2017)

The New Orleans Botanical Garden will extend its hours to 8pm every Wednesday during the month of October to celebrate "Evenings with Enrique." Throughout the year, each Wednesday is free to Louisiana residents, courtesy of The Helis Foundation. Each week, "Evenings with Enrique" will feature local musicians playing among the collection of 16 sculptures by the famed Mexican-American artist. Guides will be available to discuss the life and work of Enrique Alférez under enhanced lighting and fire baskets suspended from the branches of the Live Oak tree. Guests are invited to purchase mojitos and food.
