Whether you’re a beignet purist or someone who likes their fried dough with a side of spice, this is one festival you don’t want to miss.
Now, before you read another word, let me, Karen Brem—Marketing Director extraordinaire for the New Orleans Guest House—personally invite you to come stay with us for the weekend. We’re located just across the street from the French Quarter, perfectly positioned for you to savor the best of NOLA. Our inn offers clean, affordable accommodations and a warm, welcoming staff dedicated to ensuring your stay is nothing short of fabulous.
Beignets Like You’ve Never Imagined
Of course, you’ll find the classic beignet dusted in powdered sugar—because what would a beignet festival be without the OG? But this is New Orleans, honey, and we don’t stop there. Expect over 50 unique takes on this iconic treat, from vegan and gluten-free options to savory and spicy creations that’ll make your taste buds dance. Bacon and cheddar beignet? Got it. Crawfish étouffée beignet? You bet. Dark chocolate raspberry drizzle? Say no more! With more than 80 menu items to choose from, even the pickiest eaters will find something to drool over.
When you’re done sampling every bite-sized bit of heaven, retreat to the New Orleans Guest House, where you can relax in our charming rooms and recharge for even more foodie fun.
More Than Just Food—It’s a Whole Vibe
This is New Orleans, so you already know the music is going to be fire. Beignet Fest isn’t just about what you eat; it’s about how you feel while you’re eating it. Multiple stages will host live bands and performers throughout the day, serving up the sounds that make this city the cultural heartbeat of the South. Jazz, funk, blues—you name it, you’ll hear it. And if you’re bringing the kiddos, the Children’s Hospital New Orleans Kid’s Village has you covered. This sensory-friendly space is packed with activities that are as engaging as they are inclusive.
Did I mention the visual and performing arts? Wander through the park and catch live painting, performance art, and installations that bring the creative energy of New Orleans to life. There’s truly something for everyone, and when it’s time to wind down, our cozy inn is just a quick streetcar ride away.
Feel Good While You Feast
Here’s the icing on this powdered-sugar-coated cake: Beignet Fest is a festival with a heart. All proceeds from the event go toward supporting autism awareness and related developmental programs. So not only will you leave with a belly full of beignet goodness, but you’ll also know your dollars are making a difference. It’s a win-win.
After a day of enjoying delicious treats and live entertainment, why not keep the good vibes going? Back at the New Orleans Guest House, you can kick off your shoes, sip on a drink in our beautiful courtyard, and plan your next adventure in the city.
