This year, Sips & Spirits is more than our annual fundraiser—it is a celebration of the New Orleans African American Museum's 30th Anniversary and a tribute to the people, partnerships, and community that have made this institution possible.
For one unforgettable evening, NOAAM's historic Tremé campus will come alive with music, art, storytelling, culinary experiences, cocktails, and celebration as we honor three decades of preserving Black history and imagine the future we are building together.
Throughout the evening, guests will experience the museum in new ways while helping support exhibitions, educational programs, preservation of our historic campus, and community engagement that ensures these stories continue for generations to come.

This Year's Celebration Includes:

  • Immersive experiences throughout NOAAM's historic campus

  • Celebrated chefs, craft cocktails, and local flavors

  • Live music and cultural performances

  • The return of New Orleans' favorite celebrity bartenders

  • The launch of our 30th Anniversary Legacy Brick Campaign

  • Opportunities to invest in the future of NOAAM
