Everything you need to know about New Orleans' festival devoted to The Big Easy's signature treat.

It may only be August, but we're already saving room for Beignet Fest in New Orleans this October. The 4th annual celebration will take place on Saturday, October 5th, 2019 in New Orleans' City Park and is bound to be a good time for pastry enthusiasts.

Presented by French Market Coffee, the epicurean extravaganza runs from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. with general admission tickets available for $5 (children 12 and under are free with a paying adult) either in advance online or at the gate. There's also a VIP option for $40 available complete with complimentary coffee and beignets from Café du Monde and a Bulleit Bourbon Cocktail and Abita Beer Happy Hour.

The culinary festival features something sweet and savory for everyone with standouts including Afrodisiac Food Truck (Jerk Chicken Beignet, Jamaican Beef Patty Beignet, Spinach and Artichoke Stuffed Beignet), Diva Dawg (Crawfish Étouffée Beignet Fries, Crown Apple Pie Beignets, Crabmeat Grilled Cheesy), and Girls Gone Vegan (Gluten Free Traditional Beignets, Gluten Free Savory Beignets, Gluten Free Brownies).

We're also particularly excited for Loretta's Authentic Pralines (Praline Beignet, Chocolate Praline Beignet, Famous Crabmeat Beignet, Burger Beignet, BBQ Chicken Beignet, Peanut Butter and Jelly Beignet) and Old School Eats (see the photo below; Blackberry Cloud Beignets, Bacon Maple "No Brainer" Beignets, Beignet Churro Sticks).
