Sweet Dough Pie Festival

The Grand Coteau Sweet Dough Pie Festival is celebrating again Saturday, November, 12th, 2022 due to thunderstorms expected on the original date. This event will take place from 9 am to 3 pm on the grounds of the Grand Coteau Town Park behind Town Hall, 231 Burleigh Lane.

The festival includes sweet dough pie vendors, food provided by area food trucks, arts & crafts, music all day long, and of course the sweet dough pie contest – the public is the judge! All interested sweet dough pie makers are encouraged to enter. A large variety of sweet dough pies will also be available for purchase including fig, custard, lemon, and blackberry. Covered tables and chairs will be available to relax and enjoy the food and music. Please, no alcohol and no pets.

Come enjoy the unique culture of Grand Coteau. Enjoy the festival and take a self-guided tour around the town of Grand Coteau, passing by: St. Ignatius School, the St. Peter Claver complex, the Schools of the Sacred Heart, St. Charles Church, and the cemetery. This picturesque cemetery, with ancient Live Oaks and Spanish Moss, is the final resting place of the first African American Mayor for the State of Louisiana since Reconstruction, the woman the St. Charles church bell was named after, historical gravesites of our war veterans, and many renowned Jesuit priests.
