Arts Evening 2023- POSTPONED
2023-04-15 17:00 - 21:00 | Olde Towne Slidell, 2055 Second Street, Slidell, LA, 70458, United States
After consulting with several weather sources, speaking with the US National Weather Service New Orleans Louisiana, and talking with many of the bands, artists and Olde Towne business owners, we have made the decision to postpone Arts Evening 2023. This is due to the almost 90% chance of severe thunderstorms (with lightning, wind gusts and possible hail) forecast for Saturday night.

This was not an easy choice to make, and there are many factors to consider. Number one is public safety and our concern for the artists, bands and businesses who will be setting up and preparing for Arts Evening in the middle of a thunderstorm.

The Slidell Big Shot: Zulu 2023 Big Shot Meets Slidell Royalty Mardi Gras Costume Exhibit opening reception will continue as planned on Saturday, April 15, from 5 to 7 p.m. at 2065 Second Street next to Slidell City Hall in Olde Towne. Please join us!

As for the Arts Evening plans, we will shift over all of the artists and bands to White Linen and Lagniappe on Saturday, August 12. Please save the date and we hope that you will be able to join us!

Slidell Mayor Greg Cromer invites everyone to come out and enjoy an exciting evening of arts and entertainment in Olde Towne at the City of Slidell’s annual Arts Evening, one of the largest and most celebrated cultural festivals on the Northshore. The festivities begin on Saturday, April 15th, from 5 to 9 p.m. in Olde Towne Slidell. Admission is free.

Slidell's Big $hot- Opening Reception
2023-04-15 17:00 - 21:00 | LA
The City of Slidell is honored to host “Slidell’s Big Shot: Zulu Big Shot
2023 Meets Slidell Royalty” a Mardi Gras costume exhibit featuring
Terrance McGuire’s Zulu Big Shot costume. His wife Hyacinth’s costume
will also be on display, along with other Zulu memorabilia.
The Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club was formed in 1909 and the Krewe
is known for their colorful floats and elaborate costumes. Their signature
throw, hand-painted coconuts, are highly sought after each year.
Zulu’s Big Shot character was created in the 1930’s by member Paul E.
Johnson. The role of the Big Shot is to one-up the King, by throwing more
elaborate parties and wearing flashy clothing. The Big Shot is second
only to the King.
Mardi Gras costumes worn by Slidell Mardi Gras royalty will also be on
display. The costumes are on loan from the Slidell Mardi Gras Museum,
from the collection of museum curator Bonnie Vanney.
“Terrance is the first Zulu Big Shot from Slidell and we are honored to
have the opportunity to display his costume in the City of Slidell,” said
Slidell Mayor Greg Cromer. “I would like to thank Terrance and his family,
Bonnie Vanney and the Slidell Mardi Gras Museum, and the staff of the
Dept. of Cultural & Public Affairs for putting together this exhibit for
our citizens.”
The opening reception will be held at 5 p.m. in conjunction with the City
of Slidell’s 29th annual Arts Evening, a large art block party featuring
artists, live entertainment, fine and casual dining and unique shopping
opportunities in Olde Towne Slidell. Both events take place on Saturday,
April 15, 5 to 9 p.m. Admission is free.
