Well – the party’s over. Except, the party is never really over in New Orleans. Got a case of the post-Mardi Gras blues? Don’t worry – there’s still plenty going on to keep you occupied and in the Big Easy spirit. But, hey, if you also just want to catch up on sleep all weekend, we would totally understand.
The New Orleans French Film Festival kicks off tonight at the Prytania Theater. Maybe sitting a dark theater is the perfect post-Mardi Gras action. Liquid Stranger is performing a sold-out show at City Bar in BR on Friday, and the Lower Lair is premiering their series of house parties at the Republic on Saturday.
Need to eat your hangover away? The Shimeno ramen popup at Miel Brewery on Sunday. should do the trick.
Check out these & all our other picks from this weekend in New Orleans:

Event Details
Since 2010, the Brass-A-Holics have been taking their unique sound around the world. Steeped in the deep musical culture of New Orleans, the band brings a heavy dose of go-go funk to the New Orleans brass sound.
In a blending of musical cultures stemming from cities separated by more than a thousand miles, a Brass-a-Holics live show takes the New Orleans brass band culture and infuses it with the electricity of Washington D.C.’s go-go. The resulting sound is both captivating and unique. The band consists of core New Orleans brass elements- trumpet, trombone, saxophone- and adds a full drum set, percussion, keyboard, bass and electric guitar, giving the band limitless options to explore new sonic territory.
*Preferred Seating for small parties only. Parties of 8 or more people must inquire via email to Lward@sonesta.com to reserve.*

Femme Church (or Femme Final Friday) is a series celebrating femme and non-binary musicians in New Orleans.
February is the 4th in the series and features BRIDE (Nessa) whose powerful voice is used with such fervor and skill, accompanied by her peculiar synth pop which is, at times pretty, and, at times, grungy but always breathtaking.
As always, this event is hosted by Zoe Boekbinder who opens the show with a set of their own – this month with songs on the topic of grief.
Doors at 7 pm. Music at 7:30 sharp. Show is over by 9:30.
Entrance is by voluntary donation – suggested $10-20. No one turned away for lack of funds.
Beer and wine bar inside the church. Cocktails available at the Elysian bar next door.
The church is wheelchair accessible. The event is technically all ages. Because this event is for listening, small kids can sometimes be distracting. We trust your judgement.

Introducing an all new series…
The Lower Lair: A House Party, Refined.
Calling all trendsetters to be the first to experience immersive lounge seating and interactive elements set to a live house soundtrack by Concourse, Wayvz, & PassTheJeffrey. Take the leap on 2.29.20 at Republic NOLA!
The Lower Lair showcases premier house producers in a highly-curated, lounge atmosphere that reimagines Republic’s typical layout — DJs will play from the “lower layer” on the dance floor, surrounded by highly-styled lounge sections that can be reserved & customized for all your birthday, bachelor, bachelorette, graduation, or just-because party needs! For groups looking for a little extra, you can even reserve the stage or select from the menu of “Personalized Party Enhancements” to take your night to another level!
Immersive, interactive art/fashion elements, themed photo-opps, specialty craft cocktails & whimsically-witty bottle service packages will take this experience to an all new level! This isn’t your average house party—it’s A House Party, Refined.
The Lower Lair is an adult event: 21+ to enter.
