French Food Festival
to
Larose Regional Park 307 East 5th Street, Larose, Louisiana 70373
The Lafourcheais, or people of Lafourche, have been doing this tasty thing each October for forty-something years now, which is to stuff the Larose Civic Center with dozens of food booths then tempt thousands of festival-goers with local specialties such as white oyster soup and shrimp boulettes. Live music by local artists like the Dream Junkies, Shorts in December, Waylon Thibodeaux, and Benjamin Bruce & the Acadians. Plus, exhibits, an art show, a petting zoo, carnival rides, and—this year for the first time, a Cornhole Tournament. 4 pm–1 am Friday; 11 am–1 am Saturday; 9:45 am–6 pm Sunday. Free admission; $20 for ride bracelets; $50 for the whole weekend. bayoucivicclub.org.
