Closing Night: Gala in the
Arts District
Friday, July 25 ,
6:30pm-9:30pm
 “This Land is Your Land”
celebrates the land we fight to
protect from the sacrifices and
courage of World War II to the
battle to save America’s
WETLAND. On Friday night in the
Arts District, rejoice in the
Spirit of our country as New
Orleans opens the doors to
the
only museum in the nation
dedicated to World War II. Music
of the era sweeps you back to a
time when brave men and women
shipped out to defend
international freedom. In this
world-class facility, hear oral
histories of those who united to
protect life, liberty and our
pursuit of happiness. Just steps
away at the Contemporary Arts
Center, enjoy an exhibition of
art, photography and essays of
students that display the beauty
and majesty of our disappearing
Wetland. High energy Cajun Zydeco music will wash over you
like the waves of the Gulf of
Mexico, where barrier islands,
misty marshes, and mysterious
swamps form the first line of
defense for coastal Louisiana.
