Please contact Ashlye Keaton at ashlye@nolaentertainmentlaw.com by Monday September 29, to let us know if you would be interested in participating and, if so, if you have your own tables/tents, etc. We will be making logistical arrangements over the next few weeks.
While the primary purpose of this event is to resume the traditional Lower Garden District House Tour after a two-year-hiatus, we love having NOPA in the neighborhood, and want to give NOPA members an opportunity for exposure to our residents and visitors.
