Étouffée Festival
If you haven’t had étoufée, you haven’t spent nearly enough time in Louisiana.
Here’s a good event to add to your itinerary, Road Trips Foodies: the 29th Annual Étouffée Festival in Arnaudville, Louisiana, is set for this weekend: April 25 through 27, 2014.
It takes place from 5 p.m. to midnight Friday, 11 a.m. to midnight Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday at St. John Francis Regis Church, 370 Main Street, Arnaudville, Louisiana.
You just might get a taste of the competition at the Mayor’s Cook-off, which will feature a diverse variety of étouffées, including crawfish, seafood, vegetable, and even wild game.
The festival is held the fourth weekend of April every year. In addition to étouffée — that classic Cajun/Creole stew — there’ll be carnival rides, bands and bingo.
