The historic BK House & Gardens on Chartres Street was the setting for a dazzling evening on Sunday, October 5, 2025, as it hosted the annual Soirée in the Vieux Carré. This festive garden party served a dual purpose: celebrating the culture of the French Quarter and raising crucial funds for the preservation of one of New Orleans’ most significant architectural landmarks.
The 2025 soirée carried particular significance, marking the 100th anniversary since the Historic Beauregard-Keyes House was first successfully saved from demolition—a truly defining moment in the city’s preservation history. Attendees were immersed in the quintessential New Orleans atmosphere, mingling in the beautifully restored courtyard and parterre garden, which glowed under the soft light of evening.
Guests enjoyed an elegant Sunday supper, complemented by cocktails and the incomparable sounds of local musicians. The event successfully brought together passionate supporters of the French Quarter’s cultural and architectural legacy. The proceeds from the evening are earmarked to support vital restorations and contribute to the BK Endowment Fund, ensuring this historic structure remains a magnificent testament to the city’s past for generations to come. The Soirée in the Vieux Carré continues to be a pivotal and anticipated event, seamlessly blending philanthropy with the city’s renowned joie de vivre.
