Food Festivals

Louisiana, and Baton Rouge especially, is unbeatable when it comes to our Cajun and Creole cuisine. You’ll experience flavors like never before down here, and one way to get a taste of Baton Rouge is through one of our food festivals.

Jambalaya, crawfish pie, and gumbo are just the start of the authentic South Louisiana cuisine you’ll find in Baton Rouge. To get a feel and sample of local dishes like these, plan your trip to include a Baton Rouge food festival.

Award-winning chefs from some of Baton Rouge’s best restaurants participate in these food festivals and showcase the best of our city’s culinary scene. Food festivals such as Baton Rouge Soul Food Festival in the spring and the fall’s Fete Rouge, Baton Rouge’s premier food and wine festival, allow attendees to get a true bite of Baton Rouge's local fare.
