This event is free and open to the pubic.

It was great to see so many people come together to participate in a fun event for a great cause. With the possible exception of the beignet no pastry is more widely associated with New Orleans than the king cake and it is certainly the one most associated with Mardi Gras. Some bakeries across the city begin selling as early as December but always at the start of Carnival - January 6.
1000 AM 300 PM 1000 1500. Be sure and check out the annual King Cake Festival held at Champions Square. Bring the family and spend the day listening to live music and tasting some of the citys most talked about king cakes.
This festival is free open to the public and certifiably delicious. I also volunteered this year. Organizers have not yet updated the public on this event in reposnse to COVID.
