Frog Festival


To quote from the festival website: "You can bring your own frog or rent one." That's right. The progressive Cajun town of Rayne doesn't like to see anyone left behind. For those too destitute to own their own frog, the city's Chamber of Commerce will gladly lend them one for a small fee.

But what more could you expect from the Frog Capital of the World? It's where 50,000 people gather to honor frogs with races, concerts, festival rides... and then eat some. There's no better place to find out that frog legs really are quite tasty. Best feature: The picture of you in a frog suit dancing the swamp pop with a bottle of moonshine in your hand is the heirloom of a lifetime.
