Get ready to pass a good time, Acadiana! The Scott Boudin Festival is back April 10–12, 2026, bringing three days of incredible food, live music, and family fun to the heart of Scott—aka the Boudin Capital of the World

If you’re looking for something fun to do with the kids (and let’s be honest—something delicious for you), this is one local tradition you’ll want on your calendar.

Come Hungry (Very Hungry!)

Boudin lovers, this is your moment. The festival features a wide variety of local vendors serving up boudin in all kinds of flavors—think classic, cheese-stuffed, jalapeño, and more. 

It’s the perfect chance to sample some of the best Cajun flavors all in one place—and maybe even discover your new favorite.

Live Music All Weekend Long

From Cajun and zydeco to country and rock, the music lineup is packed with crowd favorites that will have you dancing all weekend. 

With a full schedule of live performances each day, there’s always something playing—so bring your dancing shoes!

Family Fun for All Ages

This festival isn’t just about food—it’s a full-on family experience. You’ll find:

  • Carnival rides and games
  • Kids activities (including character appearances!)
  • Contests, pageants, and more
  • A lively dance floor and entertainment all day

It’s a true family-friendly event where kids and adults can both have a blast. 

Shop Local at Arts & Crafts Booths

Take a break from the food and explore dozens of local vendors offering everything from handmade jewelry and pottery to clothing and specialty food items. 

It’s a great way to support local makers and bring home something unique.
