French Food Festival

Get ready to celebrate tradition, flavor, and fun at the French Food Festival in Larose! This beloved three-day event brings the community together to honor our Cajun heritage with something for everyone to enjoy.

Stroll through the Folk Life area, where local artists, craftspeople, and historians share time-honored traditions through hands-on demonstrations and cultural exhibits. Learn about everything from shrimping and trapping to quilting and Cajun cooking passed down through generations. The aroma of fresh, local food fills the air as you sample classic French and Cajun dishes prepared by our amazing volunteers and local chefs. From seafood gumbo and shrimp boulettes to crawfish étouffée and sweet beignets—there’s no going hungry here!

Kids and thrill-seekers alike will love the midway rides, games, and carnival atmosphere. Don’t miss the live auction, filled with unique items, gift baskets, and community treasures—with proceeds supporting local projects. Music lovers will be treated to a variety of live performances throughout the weekend, from Cajun and Zydeco to country, swamp pop, and rock. Bring your dancing shoes and enjoy the sounds of South Louisiana under the open sky. Whether you’re coming for the food, the fun, or the fellowship, the French Food Festival is a celebration of culture and community you won’t want to miss. Come hungry, leave happy, and take a little bit of the bayou spirit home with you!
