La Grande Boucherie

Here's a chance to go hog wild in St. Martinville, as this festival has traditionally included a grease-the-pig contest, comedy and squeal-like-a-pig contests, and the slaughtering of a pig, for which strong stomachs are a prerequisite (read: do not stand by if you're an animal lover). Live Cajun bands (including Chris Ardoin from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm), arts & crafts, bayou boat races, food, and fun on the banks of Bayou Teche in downtown St. Martinville. 11 am–10 pm. (337) 394-2230.
