Farm Fest recalls Farmers’ Days of Sugar Cane Festivals past, when people from the sugar-growing region celebrated the beginning of the harvest season by honoring farmers who grew the area’s most significant economic crop. Young people, dressed in their version of farmer’s attire with a straw hat and a red bandana, searched New Iberia’s Main Street for festival food and fun. Festival goers can attend Farm Fest with the same expectations for food and fun.
Attendees can enjoy hamburgers, hot dogs, Chili Fritos, and other festival fare along with cold beverages, including beer and wine. “Two in the Chamber” is back again this year to provide live entertainment. Sugar, the central product, will star in a cupcake walk to satisfy a sweet tooth and sugar cookie decorating, one of the best received activities from last year. There will be a petting zoo for younger attendees. Games will be available for all ages including a special “Sugar Cube Sweepstakes” where everyone is a winner.
***Admission is $10 per family. Tickets for food and games will be available for purchase. Minors must be accompanied by adults***
