Festival Highlights
New Orleans Mac & Cheese Festival
January 11, 2025
Our New Orleans Mac & Cheese Festival will be held as a food crawl (think bar crawl, but for Mac & Cheese instead)!
So, round up your crew, bring your family, and get ready to take a tour around New Orleans to sample all kinds of Mac & Cheese creations from some of the best spots in the Big Easy (some would say the Big Cheesy).
Outta This World Family Fest
January 12, 2025
Art Camp 504 is hosting its first-ever house float launch party, dubbed Outta This World Family Fest at its mission control center, The Tigermen Den in the Bywater. This fundraising and community event is the culmination of a semester-long series of space-themed after-school classes and holiday break camps where little earthlings have used their creativity to go beyond our atmosphere.
The Outta This World Family Fest will not only lift off the celestial Mardi Gras house float that Art Camp 504 kids built but will also include local food, music, dancing, vendors and of course, galactic art workshops for kids of all ages.
