Celebrate the Sweet Stuff

New Iberia, La New Iberia, Louisiana 70560
This eighty-three-year-old New Iberia festival launches the annual grinding season with a sweet, sweet celebration of local farmers. The festival honors the industry with a blessing of the crop, a 5K race, the naming of a King and Queen, food, Cajun music, and the procession of several parades down Main Street. Plus, the SugArena at the Acadiana Fairgrounds will host a 4-H livestock show, and Farm Fest will take place at Shadows on the Teche on Thursday. Free.
