Red Beans Parade Watch Party with LIVE Music from Jason Neville Funky Soul!

Featuring Live Music by Jason Neville Funky Soul Band

If you know, you know — the Red Beans Parade is one of New Orleans’ most joyful, imaginative neighborhood traditions, and there’s no better place to experience it than right on Frenchmen Street at Café Negril.

Spend the afternoon posted up with funky soul grooves from Jason Neville Funky Soul Band, a steaming pot of red beans & rice served throughout the day, and a front-row view as the parade rolls past our doors. This is classic New Orleans: music in the air, costumes everywhere, and a whole lot of local love.

The Red Beans Parade is famous for its wildly creative outfits, handcrafted for months using beans, rice, and anything else folks can dream up. It’s playful, proudly homegrown, and completely one-of-a-kind.

Our parade-side tables are extremely limited and go fast every year. Advance reservations are highly encouraged if you want guaranteed seating along the route. Once they sell out, that’s it.
