The Beaujolais Nouveau Celebration is an event dedicated to the much-anticipated harvest of the Beaujolais Nouveau, a fruity red wine from the Beaujolais region of France.

It is celebrated every year around the world on the 3rd Thursday of November. This year, the celebration will take place on November 20th at the French Embassy.

A generous donation of Les Vins Georges Duboeuf, one of the largest wine merchants in France, gives attendees the opportunity to taste the new wine along with delicious cuisine from the kitchens of New Orleans' best restaurants.
