The Louisiana Seafood Festival in New Orleans

Louisiana Festivals & Annual Events

With some 400 different festivals each year, it’s easy to see why Louisiana is often called the Festival Capital of America. We celebrate just about every crop harvested, every indigenous dish, and every type of music that's played here.

Throughout the year, music, food, history and holidays inspire festivals and events of all sizes throughout Louisiana, from north to south, east to west.
