Although the San Antonio Zulus
are involved in many areas of the
community, they are best known for
“A T aste of New Orleans”, an official
Fiesta event. The forerunner to “A
Taste of New Orleans” was “Fiesta
West,” which was held at Camargo
Park.
The idea of a festival of Creole
and Cajun food and jazz grew out of
a desire to create something unique
and exciting and a desire to become
a part of the culture of this city.
Since their inception sixteen years
ago, the Zulus have worked to uphold
to devote their efforts to the benefit
of the community. They have
contributed over $75,000 to worthy
community projects, large and small,
over the past few years.
They have grown from our original
twelve members to 31 members.
