Eat! Drink! Raise money for a great cause.

A number of businesses and individuals connected to the hospitality world and with deep connections to Louisiana are joining together for a day of food and cocktails in the courtyard of The Andes Hotel to raise money to those impacted by Hurricane Ida, which devastated parts of Louisiana this summer.

Join us on Saturday, October 23rd for a fundraiser where some of your favorite chefs and craft beverage producers from both the Catskills and New Orleans will gather to celebrate Louisiana through a day of food & drink of the region. Live music and online and in-person auctions are also scheduled. Check out the online auction here.

The event is very much a taste of Louisiana, as one donation/ticket will allow access to all the food and drink produced in order to celebrate all that Louisiana has given to us while we also give back.
