About the Louisiana Sugar Cane Festival:
For 79 years, the Louisiana Sugar Cane Festival has brought together sugar producing parishes to honor the sugar industry with royalty, delicious foods, Cajun entertainment and a great time in downtown New Iberia.
Several parades party down New Iberia’s Main Street and the "all ages" street fair includes kiddie rides, entertainment and fireworks. The Cyr Gates Community Center houses numerous events including a photography and art show, sugar cookery contest, and garden/flower show.
With offerings such as Farm Fest at Shadows-on-the-Teche, to classics like the blessing of the crop, the festival is still one of the area’s favorite times of year.
