City Park Conservancy is proud to continue its partnership with local nonprofits that support Louisiana residents through its Community Ticket Program, generously underwritten by Ochsner Children’s. This initiative provides complimentary admission to Celebration in the Oaks, City Park’s largest fundraiser and one of New Orleans’ most beloved holiday traditions, for organizations that serve youth, seniors, military families and other members of our community.

If your organization provides direct, ongoing social services, we invite you to submit a request through our online form here. Eligible organizations may include educational, religious, government and community-based organizations that support individuals and families across our region.

The deadline to submit a request is Friday, November 13 at 11:59 p.m. Due to the significant interest in this program, submitting a request does not guarantee that an organization will receive its full requested quantity. Following the close of the request period, tickets will be allocated with the goal of providing equitable access across participating organizations.

Key Dates: 
October 20: Community Ticket requests open
November 13: Deadline to submit ticket requests (11:59 p.m.)
November 20: Ticket fulfillment complete to organizations
November 27: Celebration in the Oaks begins and runs through January 1

Community tickets may not be sold, raffled, or used for fundraising purposes.  

Your organization’s contributions to our community are deeply valued. If you have any questions, please contact our community relations team at [email protected].
