The Cochon De Lait Festival in Mansura, Louisiana, which takes place on May 11th, 2024, is a celebration of the beloved Cajun tradition of roasting a whole pig. This annual event draws visitors from near and far to indulge in the mouthwatering flavors of slow-roasted pork, accompanied by a lively atmosphere of music, dance, and community.
At the heart of the festival is the Cochon De Lait, a whole pig that is meticulously prepared and roasted over an open fire for hours, resulting in a succulent and flavorful dish that is a true delight for the senses.
Attendees can savor the tender pork, paired with traditional Cajun sides like red beans and rice, jambalaya, and crisp coleslaw, all while tapping their toes to the rhythmic beats of Zydeco and Cajun music.
