Plessy Fest 7
On November 8th, the community is invited to join us at the Plessy Treme campus for our 7th annual Plessy Fest!
What is Plessy Fest? It’s a MUSIC festival with live bands, a FOOD festival with various drinks and food trucks, a FUN festival for our kids, and most of all, it’s a FUNDRAISING festival with all proceeds going back to our schools.
So, grab the sunscreen, fest chairs/blanket, and some spending cash for the always amazing Art Market and Silent Auction!
