Having celebrated the Tri-Centennial of the founding of New Orleans last year, join Active Minds for a virtual visit to this iconic place.

Join Active Minds as we explore the colorful history, culture and people of the “Big Easy,” including the unique challenges of living in a coastal city where nearly half the land is below sea level! Bring your colored beads and your jazz trumpet. It’s the next best thing to being there! This event is sponsored by The Carillon at Boulder Creek and Brookdale Meridian Boulder.
