Port Barre Cracklin Festival
The annual Cracklin Festival sizzles with St. Landry culture, from the crunch of fresh cracklin to the stomping beat of live Cajun and zydeco music.

Celebrate over three decades of partying around crispy fried pork skin as you crunch your way through this pork-fueled fiesta in Port Barre. In addition to a cracklin' cook-off, there will be carnival rides, live music, a parade, and other blood-pressure-raising kinds of excitement. After a Thursday family-night preview (free admission), the festival opens again at 5 pm Friday with a performance by Rory Suire, followed by performances by other local favorites; a parade opens things on Saturday at 10 am, with live bands playing all through the rest of the weekend. $5 per day; kids 10 and younger get in free all weekend. cracklinfest.com.
