Gueydan Duck Festival Announces 2024 Entertainment Lineup

It's festival season here in Southwest Louisiana and there are a ton of festivals coming your way in July and August. One of the most anticipated festivals every year is the Gueydan Duck Festival which takes place toward the end of August 2024.

The festival brings the who's who in Cajun and Country music and every year it is one of the most highly attended festivals in the Southwest Louisiana area. There are so many events that take place at the festival besides the live music.

They have dog trials, outdoor cooking contests, duck calling contests, skeet shooting contests, and a huge carnival. The festival takes place from Thursday, August 22, 2024, through Sunday, August 25th, 2024.

A little history about the festival. According to their website, 

The first festival was held in November of 1977 and has grown considerably each year. Held originally on blocked-off streets in Gueydan, the Duck festival moved to its own grounds in 1980 when the Atlantic-Richfield Company donated 7 acres to the Gueydan Duck Festival and the Vermilion Parish Police Jury.
Early in 1996, the Gueydan Duck Festival Association purchased a 10 acre tract of land adjacent to the existing festival grounds complete with lighting and metal buildings for all the festival activities.

The music lineup is crazy good this year. It features a Grammy Award winner and Louisiana Legend, a national country music artist with roots in Louisiana, and some of your favorite regional Cajun, Country, and Zydeco bands as well.

Every night there is live music starting on Thursday night. Here is the 2024 Gueydan Duck Festival entertainment lineup.

Wow, now that is an entertainment lineup up right? Make plans now to head to the festival in August, you will have a great time!
