Plessy Fest 8
On November 14th, the community is invited to join us at the Plessy Treme campus for our 8th 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. MORE INFO TO FOLLOW!
