Louisiana Memorial Pavilion

Private Event Rentals

Construction Notice: To improve the quality of our visitor experience, beginning in November 2023, the main entrance of Louisiana Memorial Pavilion along Andrew Higgins Drive will be under construction for a beautification project. During this time, entry to Louisiana Memorial Pavilion will be at Magazine Street. This project is set to be completed by late July 2024.


The Louisiana Memorial Pavilion offers the unique opportunity to dine, dance, or network surrounded by the workhorses of World War II, including a C-47 Skytrain and the historic LCVP Higgins boat, originally constructed right here in New Orleans. This soaring four-story space includes access to the original D-Day Museum galleries, The Arsenal of Democracy: The Herman and George Brown Salute to the Home Front exhibit, and the Joe W. and D.D. Brown Special Exhibits Gallery, which showcases special exhibits from the Museum’s own collections as well as traveling exhibits from leading institutions around the world. This space is ideal for seated events up to 250 guests or receptions for approximately 600.

In addition to the larger event space offered after hours on the pavilion’s main floor, there are numerous smaller daytime meeting spaces available for groups from 5 to 100.
