International French Bread Festival

Returning for a second year, the International French Bread Festival will fill Jeanerette's Main Street Pavilion with the smells of freshly baked bread in honor of this Louisiana staple. The festival will begin with the "Blessing of Our Daily Bread" ceremony before ushering in live music performances from various artists, including Lil Nate & the Zydeco Big Timers. Catch a competition to see how chefs showcase their culinary skills using French breads, or stop by Lagniappe Market Row for some holiday shopping. There's even a College Football Game Day section for sports fans to keep current on every play. A zydeco competition will be the main event, where the Festival Queen and King will be crowned. 11 am–7 pm. Free. frenchbreadfest.com.
