Guy Fieri is headed to New Orleans for Big Game Weekend 2025 and is bringing the world’s largest tailgate with him! The Mayor of Flavortown and America’s favorite culinary personality will host his third annual Guy’s Flavortown Tailgate, right before the Big Game, giving locals and out-of-town football fans the ultimate tailgate experience.

“Big Game Weekend is not complete without the Flavortown Tailgate! We’re talking a free event for over 10,000 fans, a real deal celebration of food, football, and fun, right in the heart of the action at Mardi Gras World. ‘Laissez les bons temps rouler ‘at Flavortown Tailgate New Orleans!,” Fieri shares.
