Brews, Boils & bubbles

Brought to you by the producers of the National Fried Chicken Festival, Brews, Boils & Bubbles festival is a unique celebration of Louisiana’s rich culinary culture featuring delicious boiled cuisine and beverage pairings.Nothing is more representative of Louisiana or brings people together like boiled seafood, and we all know Louisianians love to drink, so we’ve combined one of our most beloved culinary staples with a variety of local craft beer and champagne options to create one of the city’s newest and most-talked about food festivals of the year.

Returning in on March 29 as an epic kick-off to Spring Festival Season in New Orleans, get ready to sample hot, spicy, full-of-flavor boils – from seafood to meats and everything in between – by top boilers from across the state, paired with all your favorite local beverages to wash it down, while enjoying all-day entertainment from top musical acts, games, photo ops, and much more throughout the day.
