What is White Linen Night?
Sponsored by Whitney Bank, White Linen Night is the Arts District’s big summer bash. The event closes down the 300-700 blocks of Julia Street for visitors to explore the galleries, grab a bite from dozens of food vendors, and catch a full line-up of live music.
No need to venture inside a bar for a drink – there are also plenty of convenient kiosks set up along the pavement. You can sample some of New Orleans’ finest food and beverages from raved-about businesses like Brat’z Yall, Pizza Dominica, and Cru. With the best restaurants and bars in the city setting up for this special event, White Linen Night has your meal covered.
