Because of sponsors like Andrée & Carlton Casey, we’re able to provide musical instruments to children in need, giving more students the chance to join their school band and discover the joy of making music.

Thank you to Andrée & Carlton Casey for supporting Bayou Arts Fest as a Parade of Flags Sponsor, and to every sponsor who gave their time, energy, and generosity to make this year’s festival possible.

Your support helps us continue the work of the Bayou Regional Arts Council’s Notes for Kids program - ensuring the arts remain alive and accessible across South Louisiana.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping us make a lasting impact through creativity and community.

And thank you to all of our sponsors who made this festival possible. 💛
