Evenings with Enrique

A free event in the Botanical Garden at City Park

New Orleans Botanical Garden Announces "Evenings with Enrique" in The Helis Foundation Enrique Alférez Sculpture Garden

The New Orleans Botanical Garden will extend its hours to 8pm every Wednesday during the month of April beginning Wednesday, April 4 to celebrate "Evenings with Enrique." Throughout the year, each Wednesday is free to Louisiana residents, courtesy of The Helis Foundation.

Located inside New Orleans City Park, the New Orleans Botanical Garden is one of the few remaining examples of public garden design from the Works Progress Administration and showcases the Art Deco influences of three renowned talents of the era: architect Richard Koch, landscape architect William Wiedorn, and Enrique Alférez. In October 2015, the New Orleans Botanical Garden unveiled The Helis Foundation Enrique Alférez Sculpture Garden, an 8,000sq. ft. park featuring 15 sculptures by the famed Mexican-American artist set within sweeping footpaths surrounded by lush tropical flowers and shrubs.

Each week, "Evenings with Enrique" will feature local musicians playing among the collection of 15 sculptures by the famed Mexican-American artist. Visitors to the garden will be able to view the 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 Latin food provided by La Cocinita food truck.

The New Orleans Botanical Garden will extend its hours every Wednesday during the month of April (April 5, 12, 19 and 26) until 8pm.
