Acadiana Poboy Festival
Parc Sans Souci 201 East Vermilion Street, Lafayette, Louisiana 70501
Lucie Monk Carter
The brainchild of Pop's Poboys' Collin Cormier, Rob Sandberg, and Zach Doise as well as Jefferson Street Pub's Gus Rezende, this festival gathers a large and inventive variety of poboy purveyors from the area together in Lafayette's Parc Sans Souci, a direct challenge to the primacy of the New Orleans' poboy scene. Over twenty-five poboy shops make up the cast. Plus kids activities, live music, and arts & crafts vendors, and—naturally—a poboy eating contest. 11 am–5 pm. Free admission, but bring $$ to buy your poboys. acadianapoboyfestival.com.
