Mark your calendars — the #1 foodie destination in the U.S., Louisiana (as ranked by Tripadvisor), is heading to New York City for an unforgettable night of flavor, music, and celebration.

On Tuesday, October 28, Louisiana will bring its boldest culinary and cultural talent to the iconic Chelsea Market for Taste Louisiana, a one-night-only delectable experience. This exclusive event will feature 11 standout chefs from across the state — including James Beard Award winners and rising stars — serving up bold flavors and regional drinks that showcase the soulful, regional flavors Louisiana is known for.

But it’s more than just a tasting — it’s a Cajun-style party, and you’re invited.

Attendees will:

  • Taste curated dishes that highlight the soulful flavors and culinary identity of Louisiana
  • Sip on regional drinks perfectly paired with the evening’s flavors
  • Enjoy live music by award-winning Louisianans Wayne Toups and David St. Romain
  • Celebrate from 7 PM to 9:30 PM with fun surprises sprinkled throughout the night

Set against the lively backdrop of Chelsea Market, Taste Louisiana is part of a larger statewide campaign celebrating the best of Louisiana — from its food and music to its people and culture. The event is proudly presented by Louisiana Travel Association, the Louisiana Office of Tourism, the Louisiana Seafood Promotion & Marketing Board, and multiple Louisiana destinations, bringing the spirit of the South straight to NYC.

Whether you’re a seasoned foodie, music lover, or just someone who enjoys a good time, this is your chance to experience Louisiana like never before — right in the heart of Manhattan.

Tickets are limited and expected to sell out quickly. Don’t miss your chance to taste, sip, and sway your way through an evening that brings the Bayou to the Big Apple.
