On Saturday, November 7, the beloved festival will be back with amazing food, music, and cultural activities. The festival will be held at City Park Festival Grounds and will be filled with excitement and fun.
Beignets and More
The festival has all kinds of beignets, from classic powdered sugar and praline to fried chicken and seafood and so much more. The vendors will compete for the best beignet in the Traditional, Sweet, and Savory categories.
If you want to try other dishes, they also offer amazing jambalaya, gumbo, and a variety of food trucks.
Proceeds from Beignet Fest benefit local autism non-profits and programs. These programs provide opportunities and resources for people with autism and their families in the area.
