About the event

This is a FAMILY FRIENDLY EVENT that is more than just moonshine ... KIDS 15 and UNDER are FREE with adult paid admission.

The second annual Louisiana Moonshine Festival will be held March 27-28th, 2026 at the Vernon Parish Fairgrounds and will feature a variety of vendors, food (including Louisiana crawfish), live music along with a chance to meet master distillers as seen on TV and some other special guests to be announced soon.
