Lake Charles, La [KNGT-FM] - Where has this year gone? We are only a little over a month away until we flip the calendar and getting into a new year. Once we hit 2026, the festival season will already ramp up with Mardi Gras events and the first Louisiana festival of the year.
The festival of the year in Southwest Louisiana is known as the oldest and coldest festival in the state. Of course, we are talking about the Louisiana Fur and Wildlife Festival, which takes place in downtown Cameron, Louisiana.
