6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
A sacred ritual in its tenth year, Mid City Night is a pub crawl celebrating the diverse bar culture of the Mid-City neighborhood of New Orleans. Traditionally, it begins at 7:00 on a Saturday and includes six stops. This year, because the founder is getting married on Saturday, we will begin at 6:00 on Thursday and walk to just three bars. Kids are not welcome unless they are 21 or older. Attire is casual. First stop (6pm) is at Parkway Bakery and Tavern, home of the world famous New Orleans Po-Boy (Obama ate here). The second (7pm) stop will be The Holy Ground Irish Pub (106 S Jefferson Davis Pkwy.) and final stop (8pm) will be at Finn McCool's Irish Pub (3701 Banks St).
4:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Join us for an informal welcome party in our neighborhood. Please bring your kids if they are in town with you. Since we won't be having kids at the wedding, we would love to celebrate with the little ones on Friday! The attire is casual. Bring a bathing suit and towel so you can go down the inflatable water slide (even if you don't think you'll go down, bring one just in case). Saint John Court is a small street with cul-de-sac off Bayou Saint John and our neighbors have graciously agreed to help us host this welcome BBQ. If you drive, please park on Moss Street (not on the Bayou side) and walk to Saint John Court. If you take an Lyft/Uber/taxi, you can use the address G Saint John Court. Please bring whatever you would like to drink (alcoholic and/or non), we will take care of the main dishes and our friends and neighbors are making the sides :)

The shuttle (AKA party bus) will drop us off at the after party location following the reception. Attire includes wigs, boas, and other silliness.

Let's all go out for some costumed fun in downtown New Orleans after we tie the knot!
