Port Barre Cracklin Festival

Since 1985, the Port Barre Lions Club uses funds raised by the Cracklin Festival and other smaller events to support the mission of a number of worthwhile causes. Come and enjoy Louisianian's favorite snack.  This year we will have the traditional pork cracklins and the newer, tasty chicken cracklins.

The 37th Annual Cracklin Festival is held the second weekend in November every year. Ice chests, glass containers, and pets are not allowed. Children 10 and under get into the festival grounds for free.  This year we are implementing a clear bag policy.  Diaper bags accepted but will be searched.
