About Acadia Parish Fair
The Acadia Parish Fair in Crowley celebrates the Rice Capital of America — Crowley hosts the International Rice Festival each October, honoring the long-grain rice fields that define the Cajun Prairie landscape of southwest Louisiana where Acadian settlers created a distinctive French-speaking agricultural culture.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, rice exhibits, live Cajun and zydeco music, local food vendors with authentic Cajun cooking, and a fair celebrating the agricultural heart of Cajun Country.
Visitor Tips
The International Rice Festival is one of Louisiana oldest agricultural festivals. Crowley rice fields and the adjacent Cajun Prairie preserve fragments of the native grassland ecosystem. The drive south on US-90 through rice country is spectacular during harvest season.
