Join us for an evening of warmth and connection as we close out 2025 together. We have a lively evening planned—spectacle, lights, and of course, your presence.
The ‘Light It Up’ holiday celebration serves as a signature highlight of the André Cailloux Center’s End of Year Giving Campaign, helping to build the momentum that will spearhead its Capital Campaign launching in 2026.
A suggested donation of $25 or more grants full access to the evening’s indoor programming at ACC, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in the festivities.
This celebration is more than a holiday gathering.
It’s a celebration of us!
Join us on Bayou Road for a free, open-to-all kickoff to the holiday season. Together, we’ll count down and illuminate the André Cailloux Center, as our columns glow and projections dance across the walls. Chic Nouvelle models from Afri Modiste will add an extra layer of dazzling flair to the evening

All proceeds support our year-end campaign: Hold the Beat With Us—Legacy That Cannot Be Evicted. Your generosity this holiday season helps us to continue to be a sustained resource for our community
We are not just holding space.
We are reclaiming it.
Because justice is not just an idea.
It must be lived. It must be felt.
It must be practiced!
