Beignet Fest

The 2024 Beignet Fest presented by Children’s Hospital New Orleans is set for Saturday, Nov. 16, 2024, at the Festival Grounds at New Orleans City Park. One of New Orleans’ premier fall festivals, Beignet Fest celebrates the city’s most iconic treat: the beignet – a fried, square doughnut traditionally topped with powdered sugar. 

At Beignet Fest, patrons can try beignets topped or stuffed with a variety of sweet or savoury delicacies. The festival’s menu lineup includes more than 80 menu options with nearly 50 unique takes on beignets. Enjoy traditional beignets, vegan and gluten-free beignets, ice cream stuffed beignets, Bananas Foster beignets, and savoury beignets that can’t be found anywhere other than at Beignet Fest!
