(KNGT-FM) - Want to get out of town this weekend and explore some of what Louisiana has to offer? We've got a full list of festivals going on here throughout the State of Louisiana.

Louisiana has some of the wildest and most off-the-wall festivals you can imagine. I’m talking about things like the Natchitoches Meat Pie Festival, where people celebrate a snack with a parade and live music. Then there’s the Shrimp and Petroleum Festival... Yep, shrimp and oil in one party. We’ve got frog festivals, squirrel cook-offs, and even pirogue races. It’s all super fun, a little weird, and totally Louisiana.
