Festivals For a Good Cause
At some festivals having a good time translates into helping others out
Wining and dining in New Orleans is not just delicious; it can be for a good cause. With so many chefs heading up foundations to benefit local causes, festivals that donate a portion, or in some cases, all proceeds are a win-win. The celebrated New Orleans Wine & Food Experience and the annual Hogs for the Cause are just some of the options for over the top fun while giving back.
