Spirits of Louisiana
Our signature party celebrating the "spirits" of our building and spirits being distilled across Louisiana!
All Exhibits & EventsDiscover the spirits that haunt our history—and fill our glasses!
Spirits of Louisiana is our signature annual fundraising celebration honoring the "spirits" of our historic building and the craft spirits distilled across our state. Each October, friends and supporters of the Old State Capitol gather for an unforgettable night filled with Louisiana-made drinks, live music, curated auction experiences, and exceptional catering.
Whether you're a longtime supporter or simply looking for a great night out in a truly iconic setting, this is the event you won't want to miss. The best part? All proceeds go directly towards funding our beloved castle's preservation initiatives as well as our educational and cultural missions.
Ooh La La Louisiane!
This year, experience the glamour and scandal of French nightlife inside Louisiana's castle on the river!
Think haute couture to high-octane cabaret, Rococo to risqué, and Montmartre to Moulin Rouge.
We are channeling the feathers, the drama, and the champagne of France's most decadent cultures. Join us for a night of spectacular energy with just the right amount of theatrical flair, all right here at Louisiana's Old State Capitol.
