Eunice Cajun Mardi Gras Festival

The Eunice Cajun Mardi Gras Festival is a five-day celebration filled with Cajun music, cultural events, parades, and traditions that lead up to Mardi Gras Tuesday’s Courir de Mardi Gras and parade. Rooted in the rich heritage of Acadiana, the festival celebrates the sounds, flavors, and customs that have been passed down through generations. Visitors can experience live Cajun music, traditional dancing, colorful handmade costumes, and the unique spirit of a community that keeps its culture alive. The celebration culminates on Mardi Gras Tuesday with the traditional rural Mardi Gras run, where costumed participants take to the countryside to carry on one of Louisiana’s most cherished traditions, followed by the festive Mardi Gras parade through Eunice. From the music to the run, Eunice offers an authentic Cajun Mardi Gras experience unlike anywhere else. Check out our website for more information!
