Chuck Fest

Twelve solid hours of food, music, and art coming to Lake Charles ... make that "Lake Chuck," "Chuck Vegas," or one of the other affectionate riffs on the city's name. This year's lineup is especially killer, featuring big namers like Marc Broussard, Angelo Moore and Brand New Step, Brother Dege, and DOZENS more local acts you already know and love. Coming in full force after a difficult year for its city, The Chuck Fest Foundation aims to give back to Lake Charles by enriching the areas of music, art, food, and community. The party starts at noon in the 700 block of Ryan Street, in downtown Lake Charles.
