18th Annual Gumbo Cook-Off

The 18th Annual Gumbo Cook-Off is set for Saturday, October 29th, Downtown Crowley.

 Join us for delicious gumbo, kids activities, and  live entertainment!

To become a challenger, you must agree to cook your gumbo using a butane burner and your own roux made from scratch on-site or using a jarred roux.  Teams will compete in seafood and non-seafood categories, vying for the title of GUMBO CHAMPION!  

Team fees are $75 for any participating business and $25 for non-profit organizations. The event is open to the public throughout the day, with delicious hot gumbo ready at 11:30 am.  A $10 gate fee will allow entrants to sample an unlimited amount of mouth-watering gumbos.  We also hope you will add to the event by decorating your booth.  Live music will begin at 11:00 am and will continue through the afternoon.  Other events and attractions are planned for the day.  A complete listing of the rules and guidelines are included, along with a participation form.  Please join us for the 18th Annual Gumbo Cook-off, and support the Acadia Parish Chamber of Commerce!

We encourage you to contact our office if you have any questions or input toward the success of our 18th Annual Gumbo Cook-Off.  If you would like to volunteer on the day of the event or work with the planning committee, please contact us.  We look forward to working with you on this venture, and we appreciate your support of the Chamber!
