Acadiana Brew Ha Ha

Join us at Vermilionville Living History Museum & Folklife Park during the inaugural year of Acadiana Brew Ha Ha (Beers of Acadiana). Acadiana Brew Ha Ha is a celebration of the tradition and the culture of brewing beer in South Louisiana. Mark your calendar for Saturday, May 11th from 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. for this all-new extravaganza!

Throughout the festive area, we will have tasting stations from local breweries including Bayou Teche, Huckleberry, Crying Eagle and others, in addition to micro and nano breweries. Brewers will conduct several activities such as a panel discussion, explanation of practices, influences and history, and modern and historical brewing demonstrations. And, what is an event at Vermilionville without culture, live music and great food? We have you covered.
