Beignet Fest is a project of the Tres Doux Foundation
Beignet Fest is held annually the first Saturday in October from 10 am to 6 pm at the Festival Grounds at New Orleans City Park. From traditional sweet treats covered in powdered sugar to savory options bursting with seafood, cheese and more, Beignet Fest features more than 30 beignet dishes from some of New Orleans' best restaurants, caterers and food trucks. In true NOLA style, the festival also features live, local music performances, a Kid's Village, Artist Market and VIP Experience. Proceeds from Beignet Fest benefit the Tres Doux Foundation, which was created to raise awareness and funds for autism programs.
The mission of the Tres Doux Foundation is to celebrate, embrace and enhance the lives of children with developmental delays and disabilities by presenting them as whole beings, and to support organizations that do the same.
With proceeds from the Beignet Fest, the Tres Doux Foundation makes grants to local nonprofit organizations that provide accessible, quality programs for children with developmental delays.
Through our journey with our son, we found a gap in programs for children on the autism spectrum, and we wanted to change that.
