New Year's Eve 2016: Okra's Offers Taste of New Orleans in Manassas

MANASSAS, VA — If you've spent a New Year's Eve celebration in New Orleans, particularly on Bourbon Street or in Jackson Square, you won't soon forget the experience.

Well, here's an opportunity to at least get a tiny taste of what goes down, sans the famous fleur-de-lis drop.

It's the Okra's Cajun Creole New Year's Event gala, 9110 Center Street, beginning at 9 p.m.

Tickets are $35 in advance and $45 at the door.

Admission includes an all-you-can-eat buffet Cajun treats such as Voodoo Chicken Bites, Cajun Deviled Eggs, Fried Okra, Penne New Orleans, Gumbo, Cornbread, Jambalaya, and Desserts.

And, of course, live music — in this case by Chuggalug.

Too, there's a complimentary champagne toast at midnight.
