Apr 11: 2026 Seafood Gala

April 11, 2026 6:00 PM - 10:00 PM (CDT)

Description

LMTA is excited to host the 2026 Seafood Gala in the Float Den at Mardi Gras World, marking our return to New Orleans for the first time in six years and the first time hosting the Gala in this one-of-a-kind venue.

The Float Den is an expansive 80,000-square-foot space filled with towering Mardi Gras floats, bold colors, and larger-than-life props that immediately set the tone for a truly unique Louisiana celebration. By day, this warehouse is where many of the iconic floats seen in New Orleans parades are built.

For one evening, LMTA members will be surrounded by authentic floats and scenery, offering a behind-the-scenes glimpse into one of Louisiana’s most recognizable traditions.

Registration and sponsorship opportunities are now open.

T ables & Tickets

Back by popular demand, tables are now available for the 2026 Seafood Gala.
Hosting a table is a great way to bring together clients, coworkers, or industry partners for an evening of Louisiana seafood, networking, and celebration.

Individual tickets are also available for those who wish to attend without purchasing a full table.

Please follow this LMTA Store Link to purchase tables and tickets.

If you have any issues purchasing tickets, please call our office at (225) 928-5682 or email burton@lmta.la.

Seating Note:
The Float Den will feature a mix of reserved tables and open, rotating seating. Reserved tables are available only for groups that purchase a table in advance. Guests who purchase individual tickets will enjoy open, rotating seating throughout the venue. The space will include ample seating, high-top tables, and a dance area designed to encourage networking and mingling throughout the evening.

Sponsorships

Sponsoring the Seafood Gala places your company in front of top carrier executives, allied partners, and industry decision-makers. Sponsorship provides a meaningful opportunity to promote your business, increase brand visibility, and show your support for Louisiana’s trucking industry, while also including your event tickets as part of the sponsorship package.

Rather than purchasing tickets separately, sponsorship allows you to combine event access and company exposure into one investment, making it one of the most effective ways to participate in LMTA’s signature event. 

Schedule

New Friday Night Hospitality Suite 

To kick off the weekend, LMTA will host a Friday Night Hospitality Suite at the Royal Sonesta in the heart of the French Quarter. This casual gathering gives members the chance to arrive in New Orleans early, reconnect with industry friends, and start the weekend before the main Gala event on Saturday evening.
