Cooking in Central returns in 2026 with a student day and volunteer-run festival
The 2026 Cooking in Central festival opened with a student day on March 26 and continued through Saturday night, March 28. WAFB’s report described a free event combining local food, live music and family activities, organized by volunteers.
Food service remained central to the gathering, placing cold storage among the everyday preparations behind the public entertainment. The event also carried a charitable history: it began in 2006 after Hurricane Katrina, and its first edition helped purchase three school buses for the St. Bernard Parish school system. Two decades later, the festival’s mix of cooking and community participation remained the focus of the announced weekend.

College Drive Exit Proposal Advanced in June 2020
DOTD identified Boh Bros. as the apparent successful proposer for the $52.3 million College Drive exit project on June 30, 2020. The design-build proposal would realign westbound I-12 and carry I-10 westbound over both I-12 directions on a new bridge.
The design aimed to let westbound motorists reach College Drive without crossing through mainline interstate traffic, a routing issue for refrigerated trailers as well as other vehicles. Contract execution was planned for August 2020, followed by design. DOTD forecast construction beginning in early 2021 and completion in late fall 2022.

Cooking in Central’s 2025 program pairs a cookoff with two evenings of music
Cooking in Central’s March 28–29, 2025, schedule turned Amazing Place on Blackwater Road into a food-and-music venue. The city’s announcement listed a Friday opening ceremony followed by crawfish, hamburgers and hot dogs, with Thomas Cain and Parish County Line on the music program.
Saturday brought a carnival, children’s entertainment, a car show and the cookoff, with lunch and dinner plates offered at separate times. That split service made cold storage part of the practical preparation between meal periods. Chris LeBlanc Band and Lauren Lee Band were listed for the evening, extending the festival from daytime activities into a second night of entertainment.

Plan around the Central address.
A project in Central starts with the same practical questions: which functions need to remain available, how the trailer can reach its placement, and how utilities will connect.
- Share the site and storage needs
Send the address, start date, expected rental length, what needs to stay cold, its holding temperature, and the approximate quantity.
- Review the unit and site requirements
We match a refrigerated trailer or container to the product and space, then review power, placement, access, and any mobile kitchen or dishwashing support.
- Confirm the quote and delivery plan
Availability, rental terms, delivery, and setup are confirmed in your quote before the unit is scheduled.
