A Tournament with Heart
Where community, competition, and a greater purpose come together.
Our Story
Launched in 2023, NOLA Pickle Fest was founded to bring people together through the power of pickleball and giving back. What began as a spirited local tournament has become one of New Orleans’ most anticipated annual events — inviting players of all levels, fans, and families into the fun.
Our Purpose
Every match benefits the Drew Brees Foundation, which supports cancer research, education, and underserved youth initiatives. Together, we're creating a ripple of impact that goes far beyond the court.
Why It Matters
Whether you’re here to compete, volunteer, cheer from the sidelines, or support as a sponsor — your presence matters. NOLA Pickle Fest is about fun, community, and doing good together.
