Get Ready to Geaux! Downtown Gloversville is the Place to Be This Mother's Day Weekend!

The NolaNauts performed at The Glove Theatre in 2024.

Hey, fun-loving folks! Guess what's cooking in Downtown Gloversville this Mother's Day weekend? A serious explosion of New Orleans vibes, that's what! Forget the usual brunch – this year, treat your amazing Mom to a taste of the Big Easy right here in our own backyard!

Mark your calendars for Saturday, May 10th, because the incredible NolaNauts are bringing their Party Gras explosion to the beautiful Glove Theater! Get ready for a Second Line Street Parade kicking off at 7:00 PM, complete with some seriously cool local kids joining in on horns and percussion. Can you imagine the energy?!

But wait, there's more! Main Street will be buzzing as local businesses throw open their doors and infuse the downtown area with that authentic New Orleans spirit. Picture this: strolling down the street, soaking in the festive atmosphere, and maybe even grabbing a little something special for Mom.

The Nola Nauts led a parade down Main Street in Gloversville last year before their performance. They will do it again this year.

Then, as the sun begins to set, the party really gets started! Everyone will be heading into the Glove Theater for a banging NolaNauts dance party! If you haven't experienced this 10-piece funk collective from Albany, you are in for a treat. They are masters at capturing the electrifying soul of New Orleans music, serving up a powerhouse blend of classic and contemporary funk that will have you on your feet all night long. Trust me, this isn't your average Saturday night – it's a full-blown Big Easy celebration!

And because no trip to New Orleans (or a New Orleans-inspired party!) is complete without delicious food, our local hot spots are stepping up their game! The newly opened Sage & Cedar Café will be whipping up some special NOLA-inspired dishes. Mohawk Harvest Cooperative Market will be serving up comforting Gumbo and those iconic Chicory Lattes. And get this – The Brass Monkey is bringing the Bourbon Street flavors with red beans & rice, shrimp & grits, beignets, and even a bourbon street blackberry brut! Talk about a feast!

Don't forget to pop into 44 Lakes Customized Gifts & Décor for a unique Mother's Day find and take a step back in time at The Glove Theatre Museum, soaking in the rich history of this iconic venue. Did you know the Glove was a flagship theater for a major chain and even tested out early sound technology?
