Honoring the Spirit of New Orleans
Fat Friday began in response to the devastation brought to New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina by NOLA transplant Matthew Day and New Orleans enthusiast Wylie Stecklow.
Proceeds support charitable organizations including the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation, The Roots of Music, FIGMENT, Partners in Hearing, and Red Hook Art Project.
