The 2nd International French Bread Festival is returning to Jeanerette on Sat., Nov. 2, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., under the Main Street Pavilion (1630 Main St., Jeanerette).
This historic cultural event, Louisiana’s first of its kind, celebrates the world of French Breads. It will kick off with the "Blessing of Our Daily Bread" ceremony, followed by live music performances from various artists throughout the day including Lil Nate & the Zydeco Big Timers. Back by popular demand, Zydeco’s Wayne Singleton and Same Ol' 2-Step will return performing both old and new Zydeco hits.
Festival-goers can look forward to a chop-style competition where chefs will showcase their culinary skills using French breads as their main ingredient, all under the watchful eyes of "celebrity" judges. Lagniappe Market Row will feature top-notch vendors offering a diverse selection of delicious foods, local art and crafts, and a stunning display of vintage vehicles. Sports enthusiasts will have a dedicated College Football Game Day section, allowing them to catch every thrilling play on the massive Jumbotron while enjoying the festival.
The festival’s grand highlight will be the exhilarating Zydeco competition, where the festival will crown the 2nd French Bread Festival Queen and King.
The "Bee Healthy Hive" returns and is dedicated to community wellness, staffed with health care professionals offering resources that align with the festival's blended theme, "Healthy Me, Healthy You, Healthy Community." Kids in the KidZone will have a blast with Dr. Honey Bee.
