NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Christmas is less than a week away.

Here are Where Y’at’s weekend picks!: Thursday, Dec. 19 and through this weekend, the AllWays Lounge hosts the Acro-Cats’ “Meowy Christmas Special.” Watch cats perform acrobatic feats and see the world’s only cat band, The Rock Cats, play Christmas classics.
