The renowned television personality, Guy Fieri, is once again set to transform the Super Bowl experience for fans with his signature event, Guy’s Flavortown Tailgate. Scheduled for February 9, 2025, in New Orleans, this free event promises an immersive celebration of music, food, and festivities. Fieri emphasizes that while not everyone can attend the Super Bowl, everyone deserves to enjoy the spirit and excitement it brings. This year’s edition will feature a carefully curated selection of eateries from his popular show, Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, alongside local favorites. The lineup includes performances by Diplo, Flavor Flav, and Cowboy Mouth, ensuring an unforgettable musical experience.
Now entering its third year, the tailgate has grown into a highly anticipated pre-game tradition. Previously held in Arizona and Las Vegas, this year’s venue at Mardi Gras World offers a unique setting just steps away from the Caesars Superdome. Fieri highlights the importance of keeping the event free for attendees, made possible through sponsorships from major brands like Carnival, Crock-Pot, and Hellmann’s. Fans can secure their spots by registering on the official website, with opportunities to win VIP tickets as well.
