Whether you realize it or not, the 2025 Iowa Rabbit Festival is coming back to Lake Charles next weekend and the music lineup is massive this year. The Iowa Rabbit Festival is back and will take place at the Burton Complex in South Lake Charles and takes place starting next week March 20-22, 2025.

The festival was established and took place in Iowa, Louisiana outside at the Iowa City Park for years before it moved to the Burton Complex a few years back. The reason for the move is that the festival is held in March every year and the weather in South Louisiana in Spring is unpredictable. It rains almost every year and this way everyone can be inside the coliseum with no threat of weather.

The festival is complete with a rabbit festival cookoff, carnival rides, RV spots to stay all weekend, and live music for two straight days. It will take place this year starting on Thursday, March 20th, and runs through Saturday, March 22, 2025.
