Welcome to Night Vale
David Blaine
Tales of the Cocktail
For those unfamiliar with the show, Welcome to Night Vale is a twice-monthly podcast in the style of community updates for the small town of Night Vale, a desert community rife with supernatural events. The show is rich with dark humor and New Orleanians can see a live performance of it at the Civic Theater on July 12. Tickets and information, CivicNOLA.com.
Groundbreaking magician David Blaine is embarking on his first-ever North American tour. On July 16th, he’ll be taking his show to the Saenger Theater. No two performances on the 40-city tour will be the same and his magic is guaranteed to both shock and amuse audiences. Tickets and information, SaengerNOLA.com.
The international spirits industry will come to New Orleans from July 18-23 for seminars, events, and tastings at this year’s Tales of the Cocktail. One of the highlights is The New Orleans Cocktail Tour, which gives participants a tour of the French Quarter and a history of the bars and cocktails that influenced bars around the country.
