Krewe Social at Oak and Ale Tuesday July 7

Gather for our monthly krewe social on the first Tuesdays of the month, 6-8 p.m. Oak & Ale (8118 Oak St., map) features a wine bar on one side, a beer bar on the other, and a patio in between. We usually grab the tables in the left front corner of the wine bar side.  Order on your own tab at either (or both!) bars (same food menu on both sides, and one tab works at both bars). Prospective members welcome. Meet other krewe members, ask questions, bounce ideas, show off what you’re working on, or just hang out. https://oakandalenola.com/

Medieval Game Day Saturday, July 18

Free and open to the public, open to kids, families, kids at heart, and people who love games. Medieval costumes welcome but not required. We will have a variety of games for all levels and small and large groups, from modern board games about the One Hundred Years War to card and dice games that were played in medieval days. The public event runs 10 a.m.-1:30 p.m. at Jefferson Parish Wagner Library. Krewe members helping with set-up should arrive at 9 a.m. Feel free to bring your own games! Questions? Want to help? Contact founder_amy@joanofarcparade.org. 

Joanie Off the Pony Performance Sunday July 19

Written by Joan of Arc Parade founder Amy Kirk Duvoisin, Joanie Off the Pony evolved from a full-length play, The Mermaid of New Orleans, first presented at the Joan of Arc Project’s annual Salon de Jeanne d’Arc in 2017. This new iteration embraces a multidisciplinary approach, blending theater, live music, improvisational movement, and collaborative performance, 2-4 p.m. Sunday July 19th at the Jazz Museum.

Presented in partnership with ArtSpan NOLA and local dancer—and Krewe de Jeanne d’Arc member—Jennifer Ramos, the project also features Atlanta-based musicians Iriamu (Will Hamilton) and W8ng4ufo’s. The musicians previously performed in New Orleans at the Marigny Opera House in 2025, accompanying Carl Dreyer’s landmark film The Passion of Joan of Arc. Details

Krewe crafting: Sunday July 26, 1-3 p.m.

Learn to make people out of playing cards for throws for the 2027 parade at the home of krewe board member Carol Lynch (2317 Metairie Court, Metairie, map). You’ll learn the history of playing cards and a multitude of ways to cut up playing cards to put together into little people. BRING liquid glue, scissors, and 2 decks of playing cards with backs of different colors. I’ll provide extra Krewe ephemera. Questions? email clynch@cdly.org

Book Club “Blood Red Sister Rose” Aug. 1

We’ll gather at The Columns (3811 St. Charles, map) from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday August 1 to discuss our next book club selection. This historical fiction Joan of Arc novel by Thomas Keneally (author of Schindler’s List) will be the basis for an upcoming new Joan of Arc film by Baz Luhrman. RSVP not required, but helpful. All are welcome — no need to be a krewe member to participate. Each book discussion is independent, and you’ll probably enjoy the lively discussion even if you haven’t read the book!
