Beignet Fest
Founded in 2016, Beignet Fest is New Orleans’ first major festival of the year, a sweet‑meets‑savory celebration created to raise funds and awareness for autistic and developmentally delayed children. Every powdered‑sugar‑covered ticket sold fuels the Beignet Fest Foundation’s grants program, ensuring local nonprofits can keep vital services rolling.
The Solution
Aiming to surpass 10 k ticket sales and match the reputation of other marquee charity festivals, Beignet Fest needed a site that could convert visitors into buyers, nurture year‑round enthusiasm for its mission, and adapt as the event’s lineup, sponsors, and community programs grow.
Firefly delivered a conversion‑driven, mobile‑ready website that keeps “Buy Tickets” ever‑present, wraps the festival’s story in clear impact metrics, and runs on a modular CMS so staff can update vendor menus, music reveals, or sponsor spotlights in minutes. A strategic content calendar and integrated analytics tie social posts, paid ads, and milestone announcements together, turning online buzz into measurable ticket sales for a cause that matters.
