The Louisiana Sugar Cane Festival loves to celebrate our sweet commodity, SUGAR!

How do we celebrate all things SUGAR? We have a parade, or 2, or 3! The last full weekend in September, you can find us rolling down Main Street in New Iberia on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday!

Friday evening, we honor our farmers with the traditional Tractor Parade showcasing our parish queens. On Saturday morning we showcase our children at the Children’s Parade which is prefaced by the Sugar Daddy Car Show participants driving their entries down Main Street! On Sunday our official royalty rolls downtown honoring Queen Sugar and King Sucrose along with our parish queens representing other sugar producing parishes.
