36th Annual Cracklin Festival in Port Barre—Know Before You Go
The 36th Annual Cracklin Festival is happening this weekend in Port Barre.
And you don’t want to miss out on all the fun.
The Cracklin Festival is always a good time but it also raises money for a good cause. The Port Barre Lions Club uses funds raised by the Cracklin Festival and other smaller events to support the mission of a number of worthwhile causes like the Louisiana Lions Camp and the Louisiana Lions Eye Foundation.
Admission into the festival is $5.00 per person per day Friday thru Sunday. Children 10 and under are admitted free.
Please do not bring ice chests, glass containers, or pets with you.
