A CULTURAL CURRICULUM PROJECT!

Big Easy Bingo! develops cultural experiences in the form of Bingo inspired Field Trips and Tours.  Our aim is to connect each participant with the New Orleans community and culture, placing an emphasis on public school cultural curriculum, sustainable tourism, and community engagement.

Bonus: Tours fund field trips!

SUSTAINABLE TOURISM!

 Every Big Easy Bingo event includes cultural ambassadors, historians, culture bearers or other characters with character to ensure an eventful and illuminating experience to shine light on the wonderful culture the city of New Orleans has to offer. We pride ourselves on providing all with being paid real wages for their participation with Big Easy Bingo!


GIVING BACK!

Group Tours fund school field trips.

Each group tour of 25 people funds a school field trip of the same size.


Explore! local partners sponsor prizes that give students and guests the opportunity 

to further connect and grow within the

 New Orleans community.

We hope to see you, the New Orleans community, come out and join us on cultural and academic adventures in the Big Easy!
