Cajun Fest is the Mardi Gras of the Midwest, a unique all-day celebration of Cajun culture through food, music, and entertainment, brought to life by Louisiana transplants and Iowa natives aiming to add a touch of spice to Iowa nice.

If you ever wanted to attend a crawfish boil, try authentic gumbo, savor a fresh beignet, or stomp your feet to some Cajun tunes, this is the event for you! And we're family friendly too with Camp Cajun, which offers a variety of fun, games, and activities reflecting Louisiana’s cultural heritage.

Join us for Cajun Fest 2025 at The Hall in West Des Moines on Saturday, June 14, 2025. Tickets on sale now!
