New Orleans Gala:
Dinner & Live Zydeco Music

In Partnership with Mendocino Music Festival
Tickets: $150

Enjoy a brilliant meal with friends as Fedele and Linda Bauccio (creators of Sostenuto, the Festival’s legendary annual culinary event) bring us an evening of color and culinary exploration dedicated to New Orleans cuisine and the art of good food and fine dining. In a spacious and secluded area on the Mendocino Grove property, party goers can mingle while enjoying exceptional wine and other libations, accompanied by an irresistible dose of get-up-and-dance zydeco performed by CZ and the Bon Vivants.

Open to the public. Campers can enjoy the music without a ticket as it is included in their stay.
