One of the most interesting and unique festivals that we have in Acadiana is the Giant Omelette Celebration held each year in Abbeville, La.

This year the celebration will be back on November 5 and 6, 2022 in Downtown Abbeville in Magdalen Square.

The Giant Omelette Celebration is a family-friendly event that of course has the main event as the cooking of the omelette but it also features a kid's world, a 2 day Arts & crafts show, an egg cracking contest, and an antique car display.

For a full listing of events, you can check the Giant Omelette Celebration website.
