Original Boudin Cook-off and Acadiana Bacon Festival

So how do you like your boudin? Blanc, noir, crawfish, gator, balled up, or on bread?

The Boudin Cook-Off promises boudin samples created by the region's top boudin makers, a People's Choice award, and a boudin-eating contest wherein participants will make stuffed sausages of themselves. But if that isn't enough pork to set you over, it gets even better—once again, the Boudin Cook-off is partnering with the Acadiana Bacon Festival in a pairing more greasy and delicious than we've dared to imagine thus far.

Alongside the boudining, local restaurants and home cooks from across Acadiana will come together to show off bacon in all its glorious iterations—and you can be sure that the smells of Parc International will have the whole town drooling. Live music, games, face painting, free ice cream sandwiches, and fun jumps too. 10 am–4 pm. Free. boudincookoff.com.
