The Lafourche Education Foundation’s 2nd Annual Bayou King Cake Festival is this Saturday! TICKETS
The Bayou King Cake Festival will be held in Downtown Thibodaux on January 27, 2024 from 11:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Attendees will be able to taste delicious king cakes from local bakeries and vendors, watch the children’s wagon parade, listen to live music by Souled Out and We & Mrs. Jones, and toast the start of Mardi Gras with Thibodaux Mardi Gras Krewe Royalty.
The 2024 festival will feature many improvements including a larger area, an improved ticketing and entry system for the ease of those in attendance, and a children’s activity corner. The Bayou King Cake Festival’s proceeds will support Lafourche Parish Public Schools and teachers, and is hosted by The Lafourche Education Foundation (LEF). LEF was founded in 1997 by local residents and business leaders who recognize that the strength of the community depends on the enrichment of public education.
