Gentilly Fest celebrates all things "Gentilly," including continuous live music on three stages, sumptuous food from a variety of local restaurants & caterers, and fine arts and crafts for sale from many local vendors.

We have activities for children in our Kids' Village, a kids entertainment stage, face painting, pottery making, garden crafts, and much more...

Gentilly Fest also offers a variety of practical recovery information offered by local organizations and an opportunity for neighbors and friends to come together with their families in a safe, festive environment to build closer relationships with our police & fire departments, elected officials, and each other.
