The Sazerac House is hosting a special single barrel tasting and shopping experience for Father's Day. If you’re not familiar, single barrel bourbon comes from just one specially selected barrel—never blended—making each bottle completely unique. These barrels are chosen for their distinct character, much like the fathers and father figures we honor: one-of-a-kind, full of depth, and worth celebrating.

Inspired by the legacy a father leaves behind, the “Leave Your Trace” Father’s Day Event celebrates the memories made sharing bourbon with fathers and father figures. The event features multiple tastings of single barrel bourbon. Additionally, guests will have the opportunity to purchase a commemorative Father's Day bottle of Single Barrel Buffalo Trace Bourbon from a barrel hand-picked by famed Buffalo Trace Distillery Tour Guide Freddie Johnson.

The “Leave Your Trace” Father’s Day Event runs Thursday, June 12 - Sunday, June 15. Tickets go on sale tomorrow (May 28) at 8 am CST. Tickets are offered in two tiers:
- Tier 1: tickets are $70 a person and include the tasting experience + the Single Barrel Buffalo Trace Bourbon bottle
- Tier 2: tickets are $45 a person and include just the tasting experience

The acclaimed musical Ain’t Misbehavin’ is set to swing onto the Le Petit Stage with a cast of New Orleans locals. Winner of the 1978 Tony Award for Best Musical, this musical revue is a sassy, sultry celebration of the music and spirit of legendary jazz great, Fats Waller. 

“Ain’t Misbehavin’ is the perfect New Orleans musical,” says A.J. Allegra, Le Petit Theatre’s artistic director. “It is a collection of some of the catchiest jazz music paired with Fats Waller’s sly lyrics, whose blush-worthy double entendres are just the right mixture of naughty and nice. It’s also a celebration of Black artistic excellence in the realm of musical theatre, and our all-local cast will knock the socks right off our audiences. What a wonderful way to spend a June night in New Orleans’ French Quarter.”

Ain’t Misbehavin’ will have its opening night on Friday, June 6th, and run through June 22nd. Preview night is Thursday, June 5th, with discounted tickets for all seats.
