This year's Gumbo Cookoff: October 12-13, 2019
The 30th annual World Championship Gumbo Cookoff will be returning to New Iberia this October! Come join over 20,000 attendees as we celebrate this year’s theme, “Lights, Cameras, Gumbo”.
Beverages and beer will be available for purchase, so please leave your ice chests at home. Admission is free, and so is the fun. We ask that you please do not bring your pets, but do bring the kids! The event is open to all ages and all people.
The Gumbo Cookoff has been helping bring business and stimulate New Iberia’s economy for decades. The economic impact of the event is conservatively estimated around $2,000,000. While admission is free, tickets to purchase food and drinks will be available all weekend. If you are interested in entering the Gumbo Cookoff, contact the Greater Iberia Chamber of Commerce at 337-364-1836.
