Promising to be the savory soiree of the year, the Cajun Cookoff is back! This is our main fundraiser of the year and helps support the operation of our parade, so spread the word!
This fais do-do features professional chefs and home cooks alike, delivering spicy samplings to the lucky few! So get your creole on for an afternoon of Louisiana-style cooking!
In addition to tasting time, there will be music. There will also be a 50/50 raffle (must be present to win.) Once tasting time is over, stick around for the dance party!
The final details are in the works! Follow us on Facebook and Instagram so you know all the what dat!
