Port Barre Cracklin Festival

Since 1985, the Port Barre Lions Club uses funds raised by the Cracklin Festival as well as additional fund raisers to help support the Louisiana Lions Eye Foundation and Louisiana Lions Camp as well as helping our community. This year we will have the traditional pork cracklins and the newer, tasty chicken cracklins.

The 38th 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.
