This year, we're turning up the excitement with a star-studded lineup of New Orleans talent, exquisite local cuisine, craft cocktails, immersive exhibits and light installations. It's no wonder the Improvisations Gala is called the "best party of the year!"
This year’s theme, "Aquatic Gardens," informs the decor throughout the historic Jazz Museum, encompassing the entire 400 block of Esplanade, showcasing the music that defines New Orleans.
