2023 NOLA Picklefest

The first-ever NOLA Pickle Fest launched in August 2023 at the New Orleans Convention Center, offering an exciting blend of competitive pickleball, VIP experiences, and live entertainment. The festival-style event featured tournament‑quality PickleRoll courts, celebrity exhibition matches (including Drew Brees), a vendor marketplace, music, and family-friendly amenities like a kids’ clinic and food trucks. Packed with community energy, it set the standard for a unique, philanthropic pickleball celebration.
