Every year we participate in the FestiGals’ second line. The theme of this year’s second line, scheduled for Friday, June 22, is Step Up!

The second line is a fun stroll through the French Quarter and the CBD followed by  an after party. There is a philanthropic aspect to the second line as well. This year, the Step Up Second-Line Parade benefits the New Orleans Family Justice Center. The NOFJC has led the way in bringing together community-based domestic violence and sexual assault providers as well as criminal justice and law enforcement professionals to provide wrap-around and comprehensive services to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and child abuse.

Help us raise funds for the NOFJC. Click here to go to our fundraiser page.

Festigals 2013 when our own Princess Lydia was the Grand Diva.

For the past several years the Pussyfooters have participated in the Festigal’s Stiletto Stroll through the French Quarter and CBD. This year Festigals has added a fundraiser to the event called “Shining Light on Domestic Violence.” The New Orleans Family Justice Center will be the recipient of the funds raised. The various parading krewes participating in the Stiletto Stroll have formed teams and we need your help to help us reach our goal and be the top fundraising team! Click here to learn more about the fundraiser, the NOFJC and Festigals and most importantly, to DONATE! Scroll down to find our team. No amount is too small! Then come out Saturday, June 24 at 8:00pm to see the Stiletto Stroll Second Line Parade (we will be wearing our trademark white boots.)
