No registration is required and guests are welcome to attend as many talks as their schedule allows. Both Saturday events are free and open to the public and will feature a range of local community leaders, historians, and teachers lecturing on topics ranging from Joan of Arc’s life story to the unique Catholic culture of New Orleans, as well as a workshop on creating your own medieval coat of arms, led by Krewe de Jeanne d’Arc Co-Captain Amanda Helm.
