🇺🇸🍉 Mark Your Calendars — The 2026 Beauregard Watermelon Festival is Coming! 🍉🇺🇸
Join us Memorial Day Weekend, May 21–23, 2026, at the Beauregard Parish Fairgrounds in DeRidder for one of Louisiana’s sweetest traditions!
This year, the Beauregard Watermelon Festival is going patriotic as we celebrate the 250th birthday of the United States. Throughout the weekend, we will pause to honor the brave men and women whose sacrifice made our freedoms possible — while bringing our community together for a full weekend of family fun and hometown pride.
🎡 We are excited to welcome our carnival, Goldstar Amusement! You’ll recognize these guys from our fair — and they have graciously worked us into their schedule to help make this year’s festival extra special.
From festival favorites to live entertainment, contests, and community traditions you know and love, the 2026 festival is shaping up to be one to remember.
Make plans now to celebrate with us in true red, white, and blue style.
