Spring is in the air and that means festival season in Louisiana is upon us! It is the time of year that brings beautiful blooms along the hiking trails, amazing sunsets over the bayous and lakes, and longer and sunshine filled days for families to enjoy everyday of the week. Along with of course, some of the best local festivals that celebrate Louisiana culture, music, food, heritage, and so much more. As they say, Louisiana has a festival for just about anything!
Spring officially arrives on March 20, 2025 and runs through June 20, 2025 in Louisiana, giving us THREE full months to enjoy all the local festivals and family fun events in New Iberia, Abbeville, Breaux Bridge, and Morgan City.
For locals, it means practically every weekend will offer a pick of family fun events offering delicious food, craft markets, live music and dancing. It's also the time of year we have thousands of tourists visit the state of Louisiana to consume as much of our culture that they can in one weekend.
We are adding events and information on local festivals to our calendar daily during spring, so why not have it all in one, easy to read place? We've created the Macaroni KID New Iberia Abbeville Breaux Bridge 2025 Spring Festival Guide so families to plan ahead and enjoy quality time at their favorite events. Plus, we'll also offer a list of a few of our favorite festivals in other Louisiana cities that less than a day's drive away for you to enjoy.
Check back often as we will continue to update our guide with any news and events as they come up!
