More About Mardi Gras Gumbo Cookoff
The 2024 Mardi Gras Gumbo Cookoff will take place on Feb. 10 at the Lake Charles Civic Center. After the cooking and judging takes place, the public can taste from every pot of chicken and sausage, seafood or wild game gumbo in a hot contest on Mardi Gras weekend!
Amateur and professional teams will stir up hundreds of gallons of rich, spicy gumbo and serve it at the Cajun Extravaganza and Gumbo Cook-off, which is a Mardi Gras tradition among krewes, professionals and amateurs in Southwest Louisiana. The event is a must-be-there mix of award-winning food, floor-stomping music, and the down-home spirit of Mardi Gras.
Gumbo contestants begin cooking at 7:30 a.m. and judging is at 11:30 a.m., with gumbo, served immediately afterward until 1:30 p.m. In addition to scrumptious food, there will be festive music.
