Thank you for attending the 2026 LGS Member Crawfish boil!  A special thanks to our platinum sponsor Johnson & Johnson for their support.

We loved showing everyone how to gather around a pirogue and pinch, peel and eat!

The LGS membership dinners, held on Friday nights during our annual meetings, are a cherished tradition that fosters community and camaraderie among members and invited guests. Starting in 2025, we hosted a crawfish boil!  Held in a courtyard in the historic French Quarter, this casual dinner showcased the rich culinary heritage of Louisiana. Attendees can look forward to a fun atmosphere filled with laughter and conversation, making it a perfect way to unwind after Friday evening's Luis A. Balart MD, MACG Memorial Lecture and a great way to kick off the annual meeting weekend.

Attendees  walk from hotel to Deanie's Restaurant French Quarter (841 Iberville Street) immediately following (7:30 p.m.) the welcome reception and Louis Balart lecture.
