Louisiana 2022 Festivals & Events By City

If there's one thing Louisiana is known it's our Festivals. Of course, we have plenty to celebrate like the harvest of every crop, crawfish, wildlife, fruit, history, music, indigenous cuisine, arts and crafts, fish, furry critters, frogs, flowers, and wonderful cultures and traditions. They don't call us the Festival Capital of The World for nothing!

Every year we work hard to live up to our Festival Capital namesake with an estimated 400+ festivals going on around the bayou state from January to December. Some festivals are just coming back after a 2-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Springtime is here and this is the time of year when most of our festivals take place for obvious reasons. Below courtesy of Louisiana Destinations, is a look at the 2022 Louisiana Festivals & Major Events that have been scheduled so far.
