P.5 Gala After-Party @ NOAAM
10 PM–2 AM
New Orleans African American Museum, 1418 Governor Nicholls St
P.5 Programming partner, Jason Fitzroy Jeffers, hosts a closing weekend edition of Foggy Windows, his traveling slow jam party that seeks to answer a simple yet confounding question: “Why doesn’t anyone slow dance anymore?"
Safely spread out across the historic campus garden of the New Orleans African American Museum, the official P.5 Gala After-Party will be soundtracked by two of New Orleans finest, DJ Chinua and Legatron Prime, who will be spinning torrid quiet storm classics, 90s R&B, and seductive Afro-diasporic sounds. Whether lovestruck, lonely or in limbo, come join us as we find sanctuary in each other during these perilous times.
Doors at 10pm, $5 to party.
*To ensure the safety of P.5 visitors, this event has limited capacity. Face masks and proof of vaccination will be required for admission.
