The second annual Toups Fest returns to The Broadside on Sunday, June 22, for an evening of live music, local food and community spirit in support of fighting food insecurity in New Orleans.

Hosted by Toups Family Meal (TFM), the nonprofit organization founded by Chef Isaac and Amanda Toups, the event will benefit the group’s ongoing efforts to provide meals to families in need. Since its founding in 2020, TFM has served more than 175,000 meals throughout Orleans Parish, with a focus on children and underserved communities.

Presented by Hardhide Strawberry Whiskey, this year’s Toups Fest will feature a performance by GRAMMY-winning Cajun band The Lost Bayou Ramblers, with local group Midriff opening the show. Guests can also enjoy a curated selection of food and drinks, as well as participate in a lively auction.

Tickets are available in advance for $40, with a “pay-what-you-can” option available at the door (suggested donation: $40). All proceeds support TFM’s summer meal program and other food relief initiatives.

The event takes place Sunday, June 22 (5-9 p.m.) at The Broadside, 600 N. Broad Street.
