Beignet Fest in New Orleans is a family-friendly celebration of the city’s most iconic treat. Held annually at City Park Festival Grounds, the event features dozens of creative beignet variations—sweet, savory, and even vegan—alongside local favorites like gumbo and jambalaya. Guests can enjoy live music from top performers, an artist market, and a kids’ village. More than just a food festival, Beignet Fest supports autism programs through the Beignet Fest Foundation, making it a day of big flavor and big impact.
