Upcoming Events Around the Nola Area That are Cool or Interesting
Lots of collectors events, music, and more!
There’s a ton of cool and interesting events happening around New Orleans!
I have listed them below in chronological order, and will be updating/sending out the list when new ones come up. I will probably send this out at the beginning and middle of each month.
I won’t be at all of these, but you should be! Check them out by clicking Links below each picture.
December 5/6/7th is when the Punk Rock Weekend will take place! More info to come! This will be at multiple venues, so check around the usual sites if you need/want more info. I gotta see Tommy Wright III !
December 6th is the next New Orleans Book Fair. I have been pretty dissatisfied with these whenever I go, although I do I like the idea. Not really a book fair in the traditional sense of the term. I think I will go to 1 more of these and give it another shot. Not sure where to fine more information, so i guess you’ll have to swing by the Free Store to check it out.
December 6th is also the day that this place Left Bank Vintage is holding a holiday Market. I have never heard of them before, but it seems to be higher-end vintage decor and furniture. Might be cool to take a gander if you are in the area. The Website on this flyer is still a work in progress, so check out their instagram I suppose @leftbank.vintage
Wasted Potency is putting together a toy drive featuring lots of local bands on 12.12 at Siberia on St. Claude. The entrance fee is a new, unopened toy or proof of a wishlist donation. Lots of cool acts and music happening! Hit up @wastedpotency on Instagram for more info.
Hidden Dimension Tattoo Studio is holding another Holiday Art Sale on 12.13! Guest vendors with cool toys, art, and a lot more. The last one that was held here was super cool. I am excited to see what’s up with this one. Get more info from the tattoo shop’s Facebook page Here
The comic book store/gas station I mentioned earlier puts together a small-ish convention a few times a year in a hotel. This is a neat little show, and although I have never been a vendor, I always leave with something interesting for my collection. Check it out in Baton Rouge on 12/14
Hopefully, they will post more information here
Crescent City Comics has thousands of $1 comics, and a good selection of discounted collected editions for sale on 12.27! Sometimes there’s even a box of toys out on a table or two. I try to go to each one of these they put on and then stop for coffee across the street. They usually have a handful a year! Check it out before the good stuff is gone!
The CCC website is here
Communist Smash Players of NOLA invite you to their weekly Smash Bros nights at Another Bar on Freret St. This is a FREE event, but you have to Bring you own Controller! They run Ultimate and even bring couple of CRTs to the bar to play Melee. Really cool group of folks here. Come swing by on Wednesdays and join the Discord server here
Check out this really neat clothing swap at Saturn Bar! Every 3rd Tuesday of the Month. Check it out and get upcyled! I’m not sure where to grab more info about this, so if you have any, reach out to me and i’ll add it!
This isn’t an event, but since Christmas time is only a few weeks away, take a gander at this nifty Spotify playlist I have been curating for a while. Not a lot of classic “hits” in here. As I did back in my college radio days, I have tried to showcase some of the forgotten hits and hidden gems from yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Check out the link to the playlist Here!
