Marshland Festival 2025 Takes Over Lake Charles This Weekend
[KNGT-FM] -- One of the biggest festivals of the year in Southwest Louisiana is heading your way this weekend. The festival takes place this Friday and Saturday, July 25th and 26th, inside the Lake Charles Event Center Coliseum.
We announced the lineup a few weeks ago, and it is stacked full of great entertainers. Get ready for two great days of live entertainment on two stages. The music never stops during this festival.
The Marshland Festival started over three decades ago in the city of Hackberry, Louisiana, at the community center, and it raises money for various youth organizations in Hackberry. The festival became so popular that it was moved to Lake Charles and now takes place inside the Event Center's main coliseum.
Make sure to come hungry because there is a ton of food at the festival. If it swims in the water, they cook it. Get ready for some great Louisiana food like red beans and rice, crawfish, gumbo, fried shrimp, and so much more. Oh, and don't forget to try the delicious ribeye steak sandwich.
Now, as far as the entertainment goes, it is second to none. They have put together a huge lineup of names set to perform this weekend.
