## Caption

Advertisements like this one, published in a Blue Book of 1908, invited Storyville’s visitors to masked “French Balls” during Carnival season. These events promised music, mystery, and revelry—marketed as must-attend nights for anyone seeking excitement in New Orleans.

While the Blue Books promoted Storyville as glamorous and indulgent, they also reveal how openly the district was woven into the city’s nightlife and economy, from saloons to restaurants and beyond.

✨ On December 6, 2025, the Improvisations Gala presented by the Herb Alpert Foundation returns. This year's theme is Storyville: Sounds of the Rising Sun.
