Twenty years ago, Hurricane Katrina forever changed Broadmoor but it didn’t break us. On August 29, 2025, we come together as a community to honor the resilience, strength, and spirit that carried us through those difficult times.
This event celebrates the stories of survival, the power of neighborhood transformation, and the hope that continues to light our path forward. Through heartfelt storytelling, powerful performances, meaningful conversations, and healing ceremonies, we invite you to be part of this shared journey.
