El Festival Español de Nueva Iberia
Honor the past and celebrate the future of New Iberia! Enjoy the weekend packed with events like the car show, carnival, a paella-jambalaya-tapas cook-off, and live performances from artists including Chubby Carrier, Brittany Pool & the Rugarouxs, Micaela y Fiesta Flamenca, and more.
The Spanish Festival is deeply rooted in legacy, tradition, and the exploration of genealogy. Founding families of the area are honored and have their own parade! One of the main festival promenades, the narrow, cobbled Church Alley, is canopied in an amazing Crochet Ceiling that recalls Old World paseos and arcades.
La Asociación Española de Nueva Iberia, Inc. (LAENI) is a nonprofit, volunteer organization incorporated in the City of New Iberia, Louisiana to serve as a vehicle for the recognition and promotion of the Spanish ancestry and culture in New Iberia and throughout Louisiana. LAENI, Inc. encourages, supports and directs programs and activities involving educational, culinary, music, and art exchanges while creating an awareness and deeper understanding of local Spanish heritage.
