The 2024 Beignet Fest presented by Children’s Hospital New Orleans celebrates the city’s most iconic treat: the beignet – a fried, square donut traditionally topped with powdered sugar. At Beignet Fest, patrons can try beignets topped or stuffed with a variety of sweet or savory delicacies. The festival’s menu lineup includes more than 80 menu options with nearly 50 unique takes on beignets including vegan and gluten-free beignets.

Besides beignets, Beignet Fest organizers are planning a full day of live, local music as well as an interactive Kids Village, Artist Market, VIP experiences and other fun activities to showcase the culture of New Orleans.
