LADIES NIGHT NOLA UNVEILS AUGUST LINEUP
With the inaugural event complete, the summer series continues every Wednesday with curated cocktails, chef collaborations, live music, and exclusive experiences across New Orleans.
Following a successful kickoff celebration at Compère Lapin on July 27th, Ladies Night NOLA is continuing its summer series with a full lineup of collaborative events throughout August and September, bringing together some of New Orleans' most beloved female-led hospitality businesses for evenings of cocktails, bites, music, and community.
Created by Chef Nina Compton of Compère Lapin, Ladies Night NOLA was designed to support local businesses, introduce guests to new destinations, and celebrate the women helping shape the city's vibrant hospitality scene. The series officially launched at Compère Lapin with a collaboration featuring Queen Trini Lisa, where guests enjoyed Caribbean-inspired bites, specialty cocktails, and an evening celebrating women in hospitality.
Now, the series continues every Wednesday with each participating venue putting its own spin on Ladies Night through curated food and beverage offerings, live entertainment, collaborations, and unique experiences.
