Best known for distributing more than 600,000 lightbulbs to more than 27,000 New Orleans households, Green Light New Orleans has expanded our programs to include the installation of rain barrels. Rain barrels keep storm water out of our city’s overworked drainage system and reduce the chances of street flooding. Come learn how at this family friendly celebration. This event is free and open to the public, and we are offering free food and drinks. Thank you to our sponsors: Fidelity Bank
