(KNGT-FM) - If you're tired of sitting at the house or going through the weekly routine of getting up, going to work, sleep, repeat, then why not get out and check out what Louisiana has to offer this weekend as there are a ton of festivals and events going on this weekend in Louisiana and we've got everything you need to know...

Louisiana has some of the wildest and most off-the-wall festivals you can imagine. I’m talking about things like the Natchitoches Meat Pie Festival, where people celebrate a snack with a parade and live music. Then there’s the Shrimp and Petroleum Festival... Yep, shrimp and oil in one party. We’ve got frog festivals, squirrel cook-offs, and even pirogue races. It’s all super fun, a little weird, and totally Louisiana.
