Ticket sales are now open for one of Natchitoches’ most anticipated spring events, the NRMC Foundation’s Great Gatsby Experience, set for Saturday, April 11, 2026 at the Natchitoches Events Center. The immersive event promises an unforgettable evening of glamour, entertainment, and community impact in support of local healthcare.
For one night, guests will step into the elegance and excitement of the Roaring Twenties as the venue is transformed into a dazzling Gatsby-inspired celebration. Attendees are encouraged to embrace the spirit of the era with vintage style and attire while enjoying an evening filled with music, entertainment, and lively atmosphere.
The event will feature live performances by the Northwestern State University Theatre program, high-energy music from Party Machine, casino-style gaming, and an open bar throughout the evening. Guests will also enjoy a variety of heavy hors d’oeuvres while mingling in an environment designed to capture the glamour and intrigue of the 1920s.
Guests can choose between two ticket options designed to enhance the Gatsby experience.
General Admission tickets include heavy hors d’oeuvres, cocktails and beverages served throughout the evening, casino-style gaming, live entertainment from the Northwestern State University Theatre program, and music from Party Machine, providing guests full access to the evening’s entertainment and festivities.
For those seeking a more elevated experience, the VIP Speakeasy Experience includes all General Admission benefits plus exclusive access to a private speakeasy-inspired lounge. VIP guests will enjoy vintage cocktails, caviar tasting, and poker tables in an intimate setting inspired by the clandestine lounges of the Roaring Twenties. The VIP experience also features special jazz entertainment, a caricature artist, and glamorous décor and photo moments, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of the hidden speakeasies that defined the era.
More than just an evening of celebration, the Great Gatsby Experience serves an important purpose. Proceeds from the event benefit the NRMC Foundation, which supports programs, equipment purchases, and initiatives that enhance patient care at Natchitoches Regional Medical Center and strengthen healthcare throughout the region.
Community members are encouraged to secure tickets early and prepare for a night of elegance, excitement, and philanthropy while supporting the mission of the NRMC Foundation. A limited number of sponsorship opportunities are also still available for businesses and individuals who would like to support the event and the Foundation’s mission.
