Food influencer Keith Lee has officially announced the music lineup for his first-ever Familee Day Festival in New Orleans.
Lee’s Familee Day Festival, taking place on May 16, combines food vendors, live entertainment, and family-friendly activities into a single celebration. The inaugural event will be hosted by NAACP Image Award–winning comedian Kevin ‘KevOnStage’ Fredricks.
Family activities include carnival rides and a family obstacle course.
Organizers said attendees can expect a food village curated by Lee, with options from Thistle & Rye, Velvet Grain, Salt + Sage, Iron Kettle, Copper Root and more.
Attendees can expect musical performances from Kirk Franklin, Mannie Fresh, Andra Day, La Reezy, Subtweet Shawn, DJ RBD, Rude Jude, Ha Sizzle, DJ Keith Scott, Neace Robinson, DJ Arie Spins, Shamar and more.
Lee said the festival was inspired by the warmth and hospitality he and his family experienced during previous visits to the city. “New Orleans showed my family and me so much love and that stayed with me,” he said. “Familee Day is my way of giving that love back, bringing people together, supporting local businesses, and celebrating the culture and food that makes New Orleans so special.”
Lee teased the lineup himself in the comments under a recent TikTok post about the event, writing, “I told yall , music for EVERY generation. I wasn’t playing 🫂 who gone be there with us ?”
Presale tickets are currently on sale. For more information, visit the FamiLee Day Festival website.

Lee has grown to become one of the biggest names in the world of restaurant reviews. An advocate of mom-and-pop restaurants, Lee has amassed 17 million followers on TikTok from traveling from city to city posting reviews of fan-recommended eateries and popular national chains—rating them on a scale of 1 to 10.
These honest reviews have aided businesses with an uptick in foot traffic. With the rise of his star power, eateries of all sizes have messaged Lee and his team for him to visit their location.
“We are blessed enough to be a platform for restaurants that already have great food and great customer service, but they just might need a little help with marketing,” says Lee.
