Dee Dee Bridgewater

This year, Rêve On takes over Land of Dreams, a brand-new club in New Orleans — the perfect setting for an unforgettable night of music, celebration, and French flair!

The evening kicks off in style with an exclusive VIP & Sponsors Party from 6–7 p.m., featuring a special performance by Victor Campbell, a festive buffet, French wine and Champagne, and more. And the celebration continues with the Rêve On Awards, which will be presented during the night — honoring the outstanding individuals and partners who bring our Franco-Louisianan community to life.

Then, from 8 p.m., get ready for an extraordinary private performance by the legendary Dee Dee Bridgewater + Trio, accompanied by delicious bites and drinks. And the night doesn’t stop there! DJ Mathieu Schreyer will take over and keep the celebration going late into the night. 

One night. A brand-new venue. Incredible music. French flair. Pure New Orleans energy.
