Pickle Fest Returns to NOLA
The NOLA Pickle Fest, New Orleans' premier pickleball tournament and festival, will return August 6-10 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, benefiting the Brees Dream Foundation.
Now in its third year, the festival combines competitive pickleball, live entertainment, local vendors, and family-friendly activities, all while raising funds to improve the lives of cancer patients and support children and families in need.
This year's headline event is a celebrity match between two sports legends, former NFL quarterback Drew Brees and tennis great Andre Agassi, set for Saturday, August 9, from 5 to 7 p.m.
Players and spectators can enjoy matches on championship and grandstand courts, a food truck courtyard with lawn games, a live DJ, official merchandise, and VIP experiences that include private lounges, premium seating and an exclusive party at the Grand Oaks Mansion at Mardi Gras World.
Since 2023, the NOLA Pickle Fest has raised thousands of dollars for the Brees Dream Foundation, which improves the lives of cancer patients and provides care, education, and opportunities for children and families across the Gulf Coast.
