The 3rd annual Abita Fall Fest returns to Abita Springs—and of course features homegrown Abita Beer—to celebrate Louisiana’s art, music and culture this weekend, November 4-5, 2022. The line-up features local staples like Rebirth Brass Band, Flow Tribe, Brasshearts Brass Band, Muscadine Bloodline, Bon Bon Vivant, Washboard Chaz, and Sunny Side Jazz Band.
The event features two stages, a Kid Zone with activities and entertainment from the “Pumpkin Stage,” an Interactive Circle with a green screen photo booth, virtual reality experiences and more.
The fest begins with a “Fall Fest After Dark” on Friday evening, November 4, beginning at 5 p.m. and ending at 10 p.m. Fall Fest After Dark is a pre-fest party with live music, food and drinks the night before Fest day.
