Hopefest is an outdoor festival that includes live music, fun family-friendly activities, and much more. All proceeds from Hopefest are directed to two different recipients that care for people in need. One recipient is the STM Options Program, which enables special needs teens to receive a St. Thomas More education. The other recipient for 2023 the RescYOU Group. Their mission is to provide financial aid for end of life expenses and offer emotional support for families who have suffered the loss of a child from one year of age to seventeen years old (or currently enrolled in high school) in the Acadiana area.
