We are excited to announce that the Marshland Festival is back again this year. The Marshland Festival is one of the biggest festivals in Lake Charles and one of the top 20 festivals in the Southeastern United States.

The festival originated in Hackberry, Louisiana, and took place there for several years until it grew so large that they moved it from Hackberry to the Lake Charles Civic Center where the festival is now held every year.

The festival is known for its delicious food, shopping, and its top-notch entertainment. Some of the big names that have performed at the Marshland Festival include Ronnie Milsap, Frank Foster, Sammy Kershaw, TG Sheppard, Mickey Gilley, Tyler Booth, and so many many more.

The festival is also known for supporting local artists around Southwest Louisiana mixed in with the national artists that come through. Best of all, the festival takes place inside the air-conditioned Lake Charles Civic Center Coliseum each year which is awesome because we all know how bad the Louisiana heat can be!

This year's festival will take place on Friday, July 28th, and Saturday, July 29th, 2023, and has an unbelievable lineup of music. Here is the question everyone wants to have answered, Who is playing the 2023 Marshland Festival?
