Tonight Fun Under the Frescoes with Margie Perez, Lynn Drury & Monica McIntyre!!

Good Morning Everybody!

If you're doing one thing this evening you should head on out to St. Alphonsus Church (2025 Constance) in the Irish Channel for Fun Under the Frescoes premier concert!! The concert begins at 6:00 pm with the dynamic and vivacious Margie Perez along with fellow Honeypots Lynn Drury & Monica McIntyre for the Fun Under the Frescoes concert series. Admission is $10 and includes three complimentary beverages and a $25 membership (per person) gets you a free pass to the entire concert series! (see below)

 

• Celebrating the rich history of St. Alphonsus, the series culminates on March 14 with an Irish extravaganza featuring the Crescent City Celtic Band and the McTeggart Irish Dancers.  (and don't worry folks - we're already planning for next season!!)

Special thanks to our beverage sponsors - Gordon Biersch and the Nacho Mama's!! 
And a special big thank you for a generous grant from the the New Orleans Hash House Harriers Red Dress Run!!!!

**St. Alphonsus Catholic Church was built in 1855 to serve the needs of the Irish Catholic immigrants who began settling in the neighborhood in the 1840s. In 1979, the church was closed. After a continuing fall into decline, FOSA was formed in 1990; in 1996, the building was declared a National Historic Landmark. With glorious, yet deteriorating, ceiling frescoes and stained glass windows over a century old, the building is breathtakingly beautiful and has been featured in several movies… and the acoustics rock!  And for more fun info on the church - join our Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/groups/stalphonsusnola/

Enjoy fabulous music with your friends and support one of New Orleans’ cultural treasures, the 155 year-old Saint Alphonsus Church. We will see you this season for Fun Under the Frescoes!
