Bayou King Cake Festival

A sugary new Carnival celebration is making it's way to Downtown Thibodeaux this year, bringing together local bakeries and bakers to present a tasting tableaux of local king cakes—introduced, of course, by a children's parade. Enjoy live music from Nonc Nu and Da wild Matous, and cast your vote for the best king cake of the day. All funds will benefit the Lafourche Education Foundation. Parade starts at 1:30 pm. $10; VIP and sponsorship opportunities available. Facebook.com/lafourcheeducationfoundation.
