Southwest Louisiana’s premier food and wine festival, Rouge et Blanc, will be held on Saturday, October 7, 2017! It is an event unlike any other in the region and attracts thousands of food and wine lovers who gather under the stately live oaks of McNeese State University in Lake Charles, LA to enjoy the best the region has to offer. The main event is a four-hour tasting extravaganza at which visitors meander through displays and booths set against the backdrop of McNeese State University. This annual series of events serves as the flagship fundraiser for Banners at McNeese State University, an organization within the framework of the university dedicated to providing the community with easy access to exceptional arts and humanities programming and education unique to the area. This event sells out every year, so be sure to get your tickets when they go on sale August 4, 2017 at 9 a.m.!
