Despite freezing temperatures and even forecasts for snow this past Saturday, Houma’s 2nd Annual Weenie Spaghetti Festival went off with a bang– drawing thousands of people to the bayou area for this unique event.


 

“Even with the chilly weather, it was an incredibly successful day,” said organizer Daniel Babin. “We really came together as a community and tripled our footprint, doubled the amount of weenie spaghetti, enjoyed delicious food, and had an amazing time.”

 

Teams hailing from all across Louisiana came to compete for the title of Best Weenie Spaghetti and Best Bloody Mary, with several local teams bringing home the top prize. One of the highlights of the day was Cajun Meat Market cooking a whopping 100 gallons of weenie spaghetti, a huge spectacle that everyone enjoyed, and– to their knowledge– the biggest pot of weenie spaghetti ever cooked.

2025’s Weenie Spaghetti Festival also included local arts and craft vendors, live music, and easy access to downtown Houma’s shops. “Having the Weenie Spaghetti Festival in downtown Houma means extra foot traffic for our local businesses,” explained Babin. “We plan on keeping the festival downtown and working with surrounding businesses so everyone can enjoy a boost right after Christmas while we kick off the Mardi Gras season.”
