Chuck Fest, A Festival that Benefits the Community Year-round

Chuck Fest, A Festival that Benefits the Community Year-round
Updated October 4, 2019
Chuck Fest is a free event that celebrates the food, music, and art of Southwest Louisiana. The festival was started in 2014 by Dave Evans of Luna Bar & Grill and has grown in size every year. The main area of Chuck Fest is usually on the section of Ryan Street between Broad and Division Streets. Parts of the festival typically also extend down portions of Broad, Division, and Ryan Streets, as well as into the surrounding parking lots.
Chuck Fest is put on by Chuck Fest Foundation, a non-profit organization, founded to provide music, art, and service training. Proceeds from Chuck Fest this year will be used to support a Free music camp for kids!
