Can anyone's gumbo be better than ya mama's? A few upstarts in Iberia Parish may think so at this annual World Championship Gumbo Cookoff, held in Bouligny Plaza. The Greater Iberia Chamber of Commerce will host the festivities, which will feature music, family fun, and plenty of food. Saturday will be the Cajun Creole Food Fest, and the Youth Gumbo Cookout. Sunday is the big day of the "Battle of the Rouxs," where over seventy-five teams will compete for the honor of World's Best Gumbo. Throughout Saturday and Sunday, local acts such as Swampland Revival, The Bad Boys, and Sideshow, among others, will provide live entertainment to complement your appetite. 10 am–7 pm Saturday; 11 am–3:30 pm Sunday. Free. iberiachamber.org/gumbocookoff.
