SMOKE & BARREL 2026

WHAT IS SMOKE & BARREL?

For the 8th year, Historic Downtown Lake Charles transforms into a celebration of bold flavor, Southern soul, and unforgettable pours. Smoke & Barrel brings together the rich aromas of oak, hickory, and smoked meats—set against the sounds of live Southern music flowing over bourbon, whiskey, and scotch. This isn’t just an event—it’s a celebration of craft, community, and culture in Southwest Louisiana. And as always, your good time supports a great cause!

Sample 170+ bourbons, whiskeys, and scotches from top distilleries across the country and beyond—ranging from iconic labels to rare craft pours.

🔥 Award-Winning BBQ & Southern Bites
