Growing up in her family's Creole restaurant located in the culturally rich Tremé neighborhood, laid the foundation for Dianne “Gumbo Marie” Honoré's work as an award-winning Historic Interpreter, Creole culture activist, registered teaching artist and event producer. She founded the Black Storyville Baby Dolls™, the Amazons Benevolent Society™, and Unheard Voices of Louisiana™.  Annually on Mardi Gras Day, she masks as Big Queen of the Yellow Pocahontas Hunters Tribe for which she meticulously creates one-of-a-kind "suits" from thousands of beads and feathers.  She has curated numerous history-related music and food events, tours, and exhibits over several decades including the My Color, My People and Black Storyville tours, Creole food tours for Culinary Backstreets, and the Golden Crown exhibit and symposium celebrating the legacy of Big Chief Darryl Montana. 

In addition to appearances on the Harry Connick, Jr show, Flip my Food, BET, and Good Morning America she hosted a live television show focused on New Orleans history and current events. She developed an "exhibit-store" called "Gumbo Marie" where rotating exhibits were curated on Louisiana history, classes held and locally crafted products were sold to support the exhibit space. Annually she produces "Baking for Breast Cancer" in conjunction with The Amazons Benevolent Society™ who raise funds for local cancer fighters. She also teaches beginner and advanced beading classes to senior adults at the Louisiana State Museum's Cabildo.


Seating is limited and available on a first-come first-served basis. Doors will open approximately 5 minutes before the demonstration start time.
