It’s an unforgettable night at Central Louisiana’s wildest outdoor venue! Enjoy live music and a fantastic menu featuring savory and sweet options available for purchase from local restaurants and caterers. Les Fest celebrates Alexandria Zoo and former zoo director Leslie “Les” Whitt, who dedicated his life to serving the citizens of Alexandria and promoting the conservation of the world’s wildlife. Two of Whitt’s great loves included the Alexandria Zoo and music, both of which take center stage at Les Fest.
