Mark the beginning of festival weekend in New Iberia with family fun, live entertainment, and food and drinks.

Enjoy a variety of games from old-fashioned carnival games. Decorate a Rice Krispie Treat with The Frosted Apron. Stop in at the art tent for face painting and crafting!

This year, we’re excited to welcome Rylan’s Ranch Petting Zoo who are bringing the farm with them! Attendees will get a chance to see baby goats, baby pigs, fluffy chickens, ducks, and rabbits. Balloon animals are back and better this year!

Attendees can enjoy burgers, Jolet hot dogs, Chili Fritos, and other festival fare along with cold beverages, including beer and wine.

- 2NL Jazz Combo 4-6 p.m.
- Andy Smith 6-8 p.m.

Admission is $10 for the entire family. Tickets for food and games available for purchase. Games stop at 7:00 p.m. Minors must be accompanied by an adult.
