The Shadows-on-the-Teche and the Louisiana Sugar Cane Festival & Fair Association would like to announce the seventh annual Farm Fest! This family-friendly event will take place on Thurs., Sept. 26, 2024, from 4 – 8 p.m. on the grounds of the Shadows (317 E. Main St., New Iberia).

Once through the gate, attendees can enjoy a variety of games from old-fashioned carnival ones to Farm Fest staples, like Magic Fishing and Rubber Duck Pull. Hang out with the Frosted Apron and decorate a dessert. Stop in at the art tent for face painting, rock decorating, and more crafting.

Pick a number at the Sugar Cube Sweepstakes, where everyone is a winner. What’s Farm Fest without a petting zoo? This year, Shadows is excited to welcome back 2KB Farm and Petting Zoo who are bringing the farm with them. Attendees will get a chance to see goats, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, pigs, and miniature ponies. Balloon animals are back as well.

Attendees can enjoy burgers, hot dogs, chili Fritos, and other festival fare along with cold beverages, including beer and wine. Live entertainment will be on the stage during the entire event. 2NL Jazz Combo will play from 4 – 6 p.m. and Andy Smith will play from 6 – 8 p.m.

Admission is $10 per family.
