Friday, November 8, 2024 5:00-10:00 PM
Experience a culinary showcase of Cajun cuisine in Downtown Thibodaux at Big Boy’s Main Street Cook-Off!
Indulge in samples of bold & savory Louisiana-inspired dishes from 30+ teams while enjoying the rhythm of Forgetting Last Friday at the hottest cooking competition on the bayou. It’s a feast that’s as vibrant as the culture it celebrates!
One of three official “Up the Bayou” festivals & events of Louisiana’s Cajun Bayou Food Trail, the cook-off embodies an unapologetically Cajun lifestyle & celebrates the cultural identity of Thibodaux & Lafourche Parish.
Burgers & soft drinks will also be available for purchase & alcoholic beverages (for our guests 21+ years’ of age) will be sold by downtown bars & restaurants.
Tickets
Event attendance will be limited again this year to manage crowd size & comfort. We will sell a set amount of online presale tickets through event day (while supplies last) & a very limited amount of cash-sale tickets at one gate on event day. Entry price is $15.00 per person (kids 10 & under enter free). Tickets are transferable but not refundable & can be purchased by following the link below. To purchase large quantities of wristbands, rather than tickets, to distribute at the office or for large groups, please email Danielle@ThibodauxMainStreet.com.
For more information call us at (985) 413-9886, email us at Danielle@ThibodauxMainStreet.com, or visit our Facebook page.
