There’s nothing better than a fresh crawfish boat, free music, and the company of thousands of your closest friends at Louisiana’s premiere international music festival.
Festival International de Louisiane is almost set to take over downtown Lafayette from April 22 to 26, along with more than two dozen restaurants and bakeries participating in Festival this year. If this will be your first time, know that the Crawfish Boats from Bon Creole are always a big seller, as are specialties like sweet potato beignets from Poor Boy’s Riverside Inn, or the “World Famous Cuban Sandwich” from Cafe Habana City. There is something for everyone near all the Festival stages — so it’s best to go prepared.
Check out this list of food vendors from across Acadiana that will have booths at Festival International this year. If you’re looking to schedule meals around your favorite bands’ sets, here is the full music schedule for the 5-day event…
