Come attend the largest food trade show in our state with CERTIFED LOUISIANA!!

More than a two-day tradeshow—it’s the crossroads of global culinary excellence and Louisiana hospitality.

If you’re in the business of feeding folks, serving up good times, or creating unforgettable hospitality experiences, the LRA Showcase is where you need to be. This isn’t your typical tradeshow—it’s Louisiana’s ultimate gathering for restaurants, bars, hotels, caterers, clubs, and decision-makers ready to level up with the latest products, trends, and connections.

In 2026, the Showcase takes on an even bigger stage: nestled between four world-class competitions—the Pastry World Cup Americas, Bocuse d’Or Americas, the Great American Seafood Cook-Off, and the Four Roses Bourbon Global Expedition Cocktail Competition. That means more energy, more traffic, and more opportunities for you to connect with qualified buyers from across the Gulf South and beyond.

Certified Louisiana Booths are available to current CERTIFIED LOUISIANA members only.

By attending with Certified Louisiana, your company’s booth will be within the Certified pavilion and you will have the opportunity to market your product to thousands of attendees, as well as learn about other local businesses and products.
