Join us at Palmettos on the Bayou for a soulful sunset celebration featuring Geno Delafose, one of the most iconic voices in modern Zydeco music. This vibrant gathering is the official pre-party and fundraiser for the 5th Annual NOLA Zydeco Fest, and we’re inviting you to dance, dine, and donate as we gear up for festival season!
