The folks in Mansura would like you to drop by for their annual pig roast … all four tons of it. Since 1960 the Cochon de Lait Capital of the World has hosted a weekend of swine-centric activities—with a fourteen-year hiatus when things got less than family-friendly—and there's no sign of slowing down now. Don't miss contests for hog calling, boudin eating, and beer drinking; live music; and a greasy pig chase. Check out Alexandra Kennon's feature on the history of cochon de lait to really get your appetite going hog wild.
