Project Lazarus and the New Orleans Culinary & Hospitality Institute (NOCHI) are teaming up to host the 20th annual dessert and champagne Bon Appétit afterparty! Guests will enjoy access to the Grand Hall and the RNDC Beverage Lab in NOCHI’s state-of-the-art, 90,000-square-foot facility, which will be heightened by glamorous lighting, musical features and dancing.

Event areas will offer a variety of atmospheric experiences, including lounge ambience and Latin reggaeton and salsa music from DJs Medina & Yung, and a silent auction will also be provided.

Afterparty dessert vendors include NOCHI, as well as Southern hallmark favorite, Boucherie, and Herbsaint, which was listed as one of the 18 New Orleans Michelin-recommended restaurants in 2025. Desserts will range from churros, to matcha beignets, to brown butter banana tarts, and much more.
