Welcome
to the
Third
Annual DecaFest!
DecaFest
is a six-day LGBT celebration in New Orleans, concurrent
with the annual Southern Decadence revelry. It’s a joyful
occasion for locals and visitors to share our culture and
our city.
DecaFest
was organized in 2006 to:
-
Raise money for HIV/AIDS and LGBT community
organizations that provide vital services in post-Katrina
New Orleans
-
Provide quality entertainment and cultural
activities for residents and visitors to New Orleans during
Southern Decadence and the Labor Day holiday.
-
Increase cultural tourism by attracting
additional LGBT visitors to New Orleans.
Rather than choose just one charity to benefit,
DecaFest
invites every local HIV/AIDS and LGBT community organization to
join as partners. Each partner organization receives a portion
of all event tickets purchased by that organization’s members
and supporters.
DecaFest
partners are AIDS Law of Louisiana; the Forum for
Equality; the Lesbian and Gay Community Center of New
Orleans; the National Organization for Women, Greater New
Orleans Chapter; NO/AIDS Task Force; the New Orleans Gay
Men's Chorus; Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and
Gays, New Orleans Chapter; and The
Community Coalition of Greater New Orleans Gay, Lesbian,
Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Businesses and Organizations.
(If your
favorite organization is not already a
DecaFest partner, have
them contact us immediately!)
DecaFest
is produced by The Bienville Foundation, a 501 (c)(3)
non-profit organization whose primary mission is to preserve,
develop, and promote
the vibrant cultures of Louisiana.
