Beignet Fest
City Park New Orleans City Park Avenue, New Orleans, Louisiana 70124
Bern Fresen
Perhaps the very best thing about the iconic, flaky, fried dough of a New Orleans beignet is its versatility—put on full display for the sixth annual Beignet Fest at City Park. From traditional sugary sweets to innovative savory experiments—all warm and toasty in that can't-get-it-wrong way—our local chefs can pull it all off. Attendees will be invited to vote for their favorites while perusing the wares of the Artist Market, Kids Village, and Resource Walk. Then, wash it all down with a satisfying stop at the Abita Beer Garden. Live music will be provided by local favorites Flagboy Giz and Flow Tribe, with additional performances by Black Magic Drumline, Imagination Movers, New Soul Finders featuring Marilyn Barbarin and Marc Stone, and Mia Borders. 10 am–6 pm at the Festival Grounds. $20 per person over twelve years old. beignetfest.com.
