LAFAYETTE, La (KLFY) – Boudin makers from all over the state will meet in downtown Lafayette this weekend for the 9th annual Boudin Cook-off.

13 vendors from all over the state are expected to be at the cook-off.

Organizers say attendees will be able to sample all things boudin, and there will also be lots of activities for children of all ages.

“A full day celebrating our unique cultural heritage and culinary heritage here, all centered around boudin, and what we really strive to do is make this a celebration of boudin and a showcase for boudin,” said Boudin Cook-off coordinator, Robert Carriker.

Carriker welcomes everyone to come out to the free festival that will take place in Parc Sans Souci Saturday from 10-4 pm.
