Where Y’at this Weekend: Summer Lyric Theater, Dolly Days, White Linen Night, Farmer’s Market

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — July is coming to an end, but August is kicking off with a bang. The summer fun continues with fantastic theater, a white linen-themed art party, and even a celebration of everyone’s favorite female country singer – Dolly Parton. Here are Where Y’at’s weekend picks!:
  • First, starting tonight, Tulane’s Summer Lyric Theatre is closing out its season with performances of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Carousel. Carousel is an emotional play that centers around the tumultuous relationship between carnival worker Billie and his future wife Julie.
  • Are you a fan of Dolly Parton? Well then grab the family and head to the French Market District this weekend for their free Dolly Days festival. It’ll kick off with a free sno-ball giveaway and also feature children’s book readings, photo opportunities, and big-hair country fun.
  • Next, break out your best white linen: the Arts District New Orleans presents White Linen Night in the Warehouse District on Saturday evening. Participating galleries and museums will showcase new art exhibitions and installations. You’ll also find live music, food vendors, and street performers.
  • Finally, celebrate local Louisiana farmers during National Farmers Market Week. Don’t miss the Chef “chopped” cookoff challenge, as well as free samples, giveaways, and live music. The fun starts this Sunday at the Farmer’s Market in City Park, and continues on Tuesday uptown at The Batture and Thursday in Mid-City.

Are you ready for some football? Then grab the new Saints Preview issue of Where Y’at Magazine at restaurants, coffee shops, and retail outlets all over town. This edition features an exclusive interview with future Saints hall of famer Cam Jordan as well as a profile of the team’s 2025 draft picks and more.
