A Cultural Celebration Rooted in Tradition. Roux Fest is more than a gumbo cookoff—it’s a tribute to the rich culinary heritage that defines Louisiana and a celebration of the industries that have helped shape our region. Now in its third year, this event continues to honor the deep cultural pride, creativity, and resilience that unite our community.

We celebrate gumbo not just as a dish, but as a symbol of history, family, and ingenuity. Each pot tells a story—from generations-old recipes to bold, new takes. Roux Fest brings those stories to life and creates a space where professional chefs, home cooks, and food lovers come together in celebration.

Where Culture & Industry Intersect. As a Lagcoe signature event, Roux Fest highlights the enduring connection between Louisiana’s cultural identity and the energy industry. This cookoff becomes a platform where culinary passion meets industrial innovation—showcasing how tradition and progress go hand in hand in Acadiana.

Roux Fest is built on connection—between people, industries, and causes. Through the joy of food and friendly competition, we create opportunities for networking, collaboration, and community investment. Proceeds from the event support local nonprofits and initiatives that keep the spirit of service alive in Acadiana.
