This weekend’s Mayfest in downtown Leesville has Mayfest Mac drooling, literally! The food selection at this year’s event may be the most diverse and finger-licking-good selection ever!
Lots of food and craft vendors will be on site when the music begins at 4 p.m. on Friday. Saturday they will be there early and late! Saturday begins early with the Leesville Lions Club Annual Pancake Breakfast. Cooked, served, and available for dining on site or to go! The Lions cook good pancakes for a great cause! Pancakes are served from 7 a.m. – 10 a.m. Tickets are $10.
For convenience, festival food should be portable as you stroll around and visit; however, there is space to sit and dine downtown. Just come hungry!
Mayfest Mac knows turkey legs are big at festivals, and they got ‘em at Mayfest! If you like food on a stick, how about alligator or chicken on a stick? Mac likes those giant corn dogs! You can go international with Jamaican jerk pork or curry chicken. Jamaican jerk chicken quesadillas sound very interesting. Try some slow-braised beef birria tacos or a Louisiana meat pie. Stroll the food alley for grilled burgers, fresh egg rolls, hot dogs, smoked brisket, rib plates, chicken wings, and boudin! Mac says YES to a dressed fried chicken sandwich with loaded French fries or nachos. Keep your sweet tooth happy with churros, funnel cakes, fried festival dough, ice cream, and shaved ice treats.
Mayfest Mac likes a cup of plain shaved ice from Pat, the ice cream guy, with a soda pop poured over it…. lasts for an hour!
There may be a few more vendors with food surprises that make it at the last minute. There will absolutely positively be something for everyone at Mayfest 2024.
P.S. Local law enforcement cautions you not to feed Mayfest Mac. He might follow you home!
