Following its cancellation this year in coordination with
local and state guidelines regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, the Cajun Chili Fest has been rescheduled
for the spring of 2021 in Lafayette, at Blackham Coliseum. The team
registration will open up later in the fall, and the festival will be open to
the public. Festival-goers will have the opportunity to taste a variety of
chili from local experts and chili champs, who will put forward their best
recipes. Life music, a kid's zone, and raffle prizes will also make up part of
the fun.
As of now, the date and the sponsors for next year's edition
of the Cajun Chili Fest are yet to be defined. The festival will be open to the
public from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. Some of the sponsors of last year's fest
included ESPN Sports Radio, News15, and Ryan Guidry.
