Louisiana will pretty much throw a festival for anything. With over 400 festivals a year, you can expect that there’s some amazing festival going on almost every weekend. This particular festival is not to be missed. It’s one-of-a-kind, quirky, and an incredible family-friendly festival that you and the kids are sure to love. Let’s check it out.
Located in the heart of Cajun Country, Rayne is a quirky little city with a lot to brag about. Known as the “Frog Capital of the World” and the “Louisiana City of Murals,” Rayne used to be a major exporter of frogs to restaurants all over the country.
