The annual festival celebrates the iconic beignet in dozens of different dishes along with live music and family-friendly activities while raising funds for the Beignet Fest Foundation's mission to support the local autism community. Since its debut in 2016, Beignet Fest has become one of Louisiana's most popular food festivals steeped in the rich culture of New Orleans.

Early bird general admission tickets are $15 through Oct. 3 and include festival admission, live entertainment, a sensory-friendly Kids Village and other activations. Children 10 and under are admitted free.

"Beignet Fest is a celebration of everything we love about New Orleans — incredible food, live music, local art, family fun and a community that comes together to make a difference," said Sherwood Collins, executive director and event producer. "We invite everyone to join us for a day of big flavor, fun and impact."

New this year, Beignet Fest is partnering with Abita Beer to celebrate the brewery's 40th anniversary with an exclusive GA+ ticket. Available to guests 21 and older, the Abita 40 GA+ includes access to an exclusive hospitality tent with dedicated bathroom facilities, branded giveaways and one complimentary Abita beverage upon entry.
