Beignet Fest is held annually at the Festival Grounds at New Orleans City Park. From traditional sweet treats covered in powdered sugar to savory options bursting with seafood, cheese and more, Beignet Fest features more than 30 beignet dishes from some of New Orleans' best restaurants, caterers and food trucks. In true NOLA style, the festival also features live, local music performances, a Kid's Village, Artist Market and Beer Garden. Proceeds from Beignet Fest benefit the Tres Doux Foundation, which was created to raise awareness and funds for autism programs.
