One of the most popular festivals in Southwest Louisiana is coming back for another year with a powerhouse entertainment lineup for 2025. The Iowa Rabbit Festival is back and will take place at the Burton Complex in South Lake Charles.

The festival was established and took place in Iowa, Louisiana outside at the Iowa City Park for years before it moved to the Burton Complex a few years back. The reason for the move is that the festival is held in March every year and the weather in South Louisiana in Spring is unpredictable. It rains almost every year and this way everyone can be inside the coliseum with no threat of weather.

The festival is complete with a rabbit festival cookoff, carnival rides, RV spots to stay all weekend, and live music for two straight days. It will take place this year starting on Thursday, March 20th, and runs through Saturday, March 22, 2025/ We have your first look at who is playing the 2025 Iowa Rabbit Festival.
