French Food Festival

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. Expect live music, exhibits, an art show, a petting zoo, and carnival rides. Free. Details at bayoucivicclub.org.
