NEW ORLEANS — The Hope Fest will be hosting its second annual event to help homeless women and children next month. New Orleans Saints center Erik McCoy and his wife Bianca will be in attendance as this year's presenting sponsors.
Families can enjoy music from the Preservation Hall All-Stars along with New Orleans native and neo-soul sensation, Erica Falls.
The festival will feature food made by local celebrity chefs and a silent auction.

"We are excited to bring the community together for Hope Fest 2024, a night filled with incredible music, delicious food, and the spirit of giving," said Sr. Mary Lou Specha, Executive Director of Hotel Hope. "This event plays a vital role in supporting our efforts to make a positive impact on the lives of those experiencing homelessness."
