rayne frog festival

If you have nothing to do and live in Acadiana, then we can quickly change that for you, as there are a slew of great events happening in the area this weekend.

The parade, which traditionally signals the start of the famed South Louisiana festival, will not take place out of respect for the fallen Rayne police officer.

The 2023 Frog Festival in Rayne is scheduled for May 11 through the 13 and the musical lineup has just been released.

Gerald asked the men, "Yall looking forward to the weekend? Y'all just attending? What's going on? One of the bystander's comment took everyone, including many watching, by surprise.

The Rayne Frog Festival is back after a two-year hiatus.

The Rayne Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors announced on Thursday that the Rayne Frog Festival will not take place this year.

This year's festival was set for the first week in May.

As always there is a full schedule of music, delicious food and drinks, signature events such as frog racing and jumping, frog-eating contest, dance contest, free kids area with live frogs and the Grand Parade.

Obviously, having a bunch of frogs is one reason, but that's not the main reason Rayne earned the title.
