Louisiana Cattle Festival returning this year
Fans of the Louisiana Cattle Festival can once again mark their calendars for the first weekend in October.
Cattle Festival President Francis Plaisance announced that the festival will return in 2021, during the first weekend in October. This comes after organizers decided to cancel last year’s festival because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Last week, Gov. John Bel Edwards moved Louisiana into Phase III, which allows for fairs and festivals to operate at 50% capacity. Plaisance said the Cattle Festival Board discussed and jumped at the opportunity to set a date.
