Brad Pitt waves to the cameras while leaving the Sugar Mill on Thursday afternoon (May 15) in the Historic Warehouse District of New Orleans, La.

The 50-year-old actor stopped by the location to prep for his Make It Right foundation‘s upcoming gala, which will be taking place this Saturday night at the venue.

Brad will be joined at the event by host Chris Rock, comedian Jim Gaffigan, and special guest performers Bruno Mars and Kings of Leon.

This year’s event will also showcase the work of acclaimed artist and event designer David Stark, who will transform the New Orleans Sugar Mill with giant installations made of green building materials. All the decor materials will be reused to build Make It Right homes after the gala.

FYI: Brad is wearing Lindberg sunglasses.
