Welcome Home.

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.

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.

The 2026 Tchoup Hop will be held Saturday May 16, 2026.
