May 16 at 6:00pm — 10:00pm
Change of date: PRC’s Tchoup Hop has been moved to Saturday, May 16th. See you there!
The Preservation Resource Center of New Orleans invites you to Tchoup Hop, our newly reimagined annual gala– hosted right at our headquarters on Tchoupitoulas Street.
Formerly known as the Julia Jump, this beloved fundraiser takes on a new name and a new energy, reflecting PRC’s move and the evolution of this signature event. While the address has changed, the heart of the evening remains the same: celebrating our mission and the people who make preservation possible. Tchoup Hop leaves behind the formal black-tie gala in favor of a spirited block party experience inspired by New Orleans favorites.
Guests are invited to come dressed as you are or in your favorite New Orleans event attire—whether that means Mardi Gras flair, White Linen Night looks, Saints game day garb, Jazz Fest best, or the unmistakable energy of a riding or marching krewe. The night will feature music that gets you moving, food and drinks inspired by local favorites, and a unique opportunity to “shop the hop” for original art, PRC merch and more. As our headquarters transforms into the ultimate neighborhood gathering, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to revel and connect with fellow preservationists and celebrate the events, traditions, and shared culture that simply wouldn’t be the same without the backdrop of our beautiful city.
Throughout the evening, Tchoup Hop highlights PRC’s work protecting historic places, neighborhoods, and stories across New Orleans—reminding us that preservation is about people as much as buildings. It’s about continuity, belonging, and ensuring that the places we love remain vibrant and meaningful for generations to come.
Tchoup Hop is a celebration of where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re going—together.
So come as you are (or as your most spirited self), grab a drink, hit the dance floor, and help us keep New Orleans home.
