Storming of the Sazerac

The annual Storming of the Sazerac marks the occasion when women, normally admitted to the Sazerac Bar only on Mardi Gras Day, stormed the popular gathering place demanding equality. Ladies are invited to dress in post-war New Orleans style, such as hats, veils, peep-toe shoes and gloves.

Storming of the Sazerac encompasses libations, cuisine and entertainment in the Blue Room, including:
-A three-course ladies-only luncheon
-Complimentary glass of sparkling wine
-Pop-up fashion shop
-Live entertainment
-Juried best-dressed competition

Following the Blue Room festivities, our Reigning Spirit of the Sazerac will lead attendees in a second line to “storm” the world-renowned Sazerac Bar, where the spirited day continues with Sazerac cocktails in-hand.
Doors to the world famous Blue Room open at 12:45 pm, and the celebration begins with the traditional ladies lunch at 1:15pm. Live entertainment will be provided, and the event will feature a fashion show showcasing vintage 1940's style with a best-dressed competition.
