Swamp Fest
Saturday November 3 - Sunday November 4.
Hear some of your favorite Cajun, Zydeco and Country performers. Chow down on Cajun jambalaya and gumbo, fried alligator, boudin, crab cakes with crawfish sauce, catfish po-boys, crawfish bread, and cracklins from some of the best restaurants and caterers in Southern Louisiana.
Bring a piece of Louisiana’s heritage home with unique Cajun creations. Genuine Louisiana arts and crafts will be sold throughout the Zoo with a showcase of wood furniture, one-of-a-kind Louisiana paintings, woven cypress baskets, duck carvings and more.
Learn more about the Cajun culture with special animal feedings and hands-on encounters in addition to Cajun storytelling, pirogue-building, and wild fowl carving presentations in the now-famous Louisiana Swamp Exhibit.
Remember: no ice chests are allowed in Swamp Festival! The zoo will have plenty of food and drink available for purchase.
