2023 Iowa Rabbit Festival This Weekend In Lake Charles

The 2023 Iowa Rabbit Festival is on its way this weekend with a cookoff, carnival rides, food, and lots of live entertainment. The festival has been on a break for the past three years but now it's back baby and we can't be happier.

On Thursday, the carnival will open up and there is no charge to enter. Take the kids out to ride rides and get some sweet treats. Then get ready for Friday evening as the festival kicks off inside the Burton Coliseum.
