THE PARTY YOU LOVE — REMIXED.

We’re turning up the volume on Laurels & Stripes! A new venue, new energy, and new sounds are taking the stage on March 7, 2026. It’s the same spirit of celebration—with a bold new twist.

 

This year’s Laurels & Stripes will look and feel unlike any before it:

  • Social hour in the Windgate Center for Fine and Performing Arts with heavy hors d’oeuvres, drinks, and live entertainment

  • A program celebrating our Distinguished Alumni and recognizing Foundation-supported student scholarships in the Windgate Concert Hall

  • A high-energy after-party, Bruce’s Bear Cave in the James Bridges Black Box Theatre, featuring Tyler Kinchen & The Right Pieces from New Orleans

 

We will also offer valet parking and encourage elevated cocktail attire for a relaxed yet polished evening. Because of the venue layout and program format, space is limited this year and we do expect to sell out.
