About St. John the Baptist Parish Fair

The St. John the Baptist Parish Fair in Edgard celebrates a River Parish between New Orleans and Baton Rouge where LaPlace boudin and andouille sausage production has made the area the Andouille Capital of the World, and where sugar cane fields and the River Road plantation corridor define the landscape.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, andouille and boudin exhibits celebrating the parish sausage heritage, local food vendors, and a fair drawing from the LaPlace community.

Visitor Tips

LaPlace Andouille Festival celebrates the smoked pork sausage tradition that defines St. John the Baptist Parish cooking. The San Francisco Plantation house is one of the most ornate antebellum plantation homes on the River Road. The parish location between New Orleans and Baton Rouge creates strong commuter community character.
