Food, Music, and FUN: Here's the 2025 Fall Music Festival Guide ๐Ÿ‚

It's toe-tapping, family-friendly fun at these music festivals from New Iberia to Morgan City!

By Tracie Ysaguire, Publisher for Macaroni KID New Iberia Abbeville Breaux Bridge September 16, 2025

As the summer heat slowly fades away, families in New Iberia, Abbeville, Breaux Bridge, and Morgan City look forward to cooler temperatures, fall leaves, and dancing to our favorite bands at one of the many festivals and community events that Louisiana has to offer. 

We are blessed to have so many family-friendly fall festivals, free concerts, and other fall markets each year from New Iberia to Morgan City. Over the next couple of months, our weekends will be filled with dancing, food, and that true spirit of Louisiana that locals and tourists both adore. We created our 2025 Fall Festival Guide to help you keep all the dates you need all in one place!

Macaroni KID New Iberia Abbeville Breaux Bridge is a community resource. 

We could not do it without support from our paid advertisers, sponsors, followers and our beloved subscribers. ๐Ÿงก 


These family-friendly gatherings offer a taste of what the Acadiana culture has to offer. This guide will focus on all the local, fall food and music festivals that keep our toes tapping and our bellies full, but we'll also list the ones that support local causes and other quirky-fun things families can enjoy over the weekends in the fall months. 

When it comes to festivals in Louisiana we know that there is one for just about everything under the sun, so we'll list a few of our favorites that are a one-tank trip away as well. 

Here are the best fall festivals and events that get us excited at Macaroni KID New Iberia Abbeville Breaux Bridge! We will continue to add more events to our guide as they are released so be sure to come back often and check for updates.๐Ÿ˜ƒ
