Louisiana Blackberry Festival

SATURDAY, MAY 16, 2026

Sweet. Southern. Juicy fun. Summer’s starting, blackberries are ripening, and Houma is ready to celebrate! The Louisiana Blackberry Festival is a deliciously fun event that puts one of our favorite fruits front and center. From blackberry pies to jams, cobblers, cocktails, and everything in between, this festival is a tasty tribute to the flavors of the season.

But there’s more than just berries on the menu—expect live music, food vendors, family-friendly activities, and plenty of ways to get your fill of local culture. Whether you’re here to snack, shop, or just soak up the sunshine, this sweet little festival is ripe for the picking.

Festival Tips

  • Family-friendly and stroller accessible
  • Most vendors accept cash and cards
  • Outdoor event—bring hats, sunscreen, and plenty of water
  • Restrooms and seating are available throughout the festival grounds
  • Don’t wear white—you will leave with berry stains and zero regrets

Make the Most of Your Experience

Plan a full day in Downtown Houma! Start with coffee at Downtown Jeaux’s, then spend the afternoon at the Blackberry Festival. Afterward, grab dinner at a local spot like Boudreau & Thibodeau’s or enjoy a cocktail from Bayou Terrebonne Distillers (maybe with a blackberry twist?).

The Louisiana Blackberry Festival is the perfect mix of local flavor, fun, and sweet Southern charm—mark your calendar and come hungry!
