French Food Festival

French Food Festival Join us during the last full weekend of October! Admission and parking are FREE!

The French Food Festival helps recapture the essence of the pastime with food, fun, games, and music during the last full weekend in October. Since 1973, local volunteers fill black iron pots with sauce piquante, etouffee, jambalaya, gumbo, and the sweetest Tarte à la Bouillie. The home of the French Food Festival is the Larose Civic Center, located at the crossroads of Bayou Lafourche and the Intracoastal Canal.
