Big Boy’s Main Street Cook-Off is a culinary showcase of Cajun cuisine prepared by 30+ teams in the culturally rich setting of Historic Downtown Thibodaux. One of three official “Up the Bayou” festivals & events of Louisiana’s Cajun Bayou Food Trail, the cook-off embodies an unapologetically Cajun lifestyle & celebrates the cultural identity of Thibodaux & Lafourche Parish.
Come celebrate Big Boy’s Main Street Cook-Off on Friday, November 10, 2023 from 5:00-11:00 PM in Historic Downtown Thibodaux. Your paid admission lets you sample Louisiana-inspired dishes from 30+ teams while enjoying live music by Shorts in December at the hottest cooking competition on the bayou! Burgers & soft drinks will also be available for purchase & alcoholic beverages (for our guests 21+ years’ of age) will be sold by downtown bars & restaurants.
