We are about a month away from Fat Tuesday in Louisiana and of course, we've still got plenty of parades, chicken runs, Mardi Gras balls, and many other festivities leading up to the big day.

One of Acadiana's biggest celebrations is Le Festival de Mardi Gras a Lafayette at Cajun Field. We're happy to announce that the fun will be returning and the music lineup has been unveiled.

Le Festival de Mardi Gras a Lafayette will run from Friday, February 28 through March 4 (Mardi Gras Day).

The festivities will kick off on Friday, February 28 with the Krewe Allons Kick-Off Parade, which will roll at 6:30 pm. Le Festival de Mardi Gras a Lafayette is the ending point for that parade and all the other weekend Lafayette parades.

Of course, the midway will return with lots of great rides, games, and carnival food. More information on pay-one-price ride wristbands coming soon.

But one of the biggest draws of the Mardi Gras Festival is the live music. And the J&J Exterminating Main Stage will be chocked full of great local and regional acts.
