Business at Bayou Classic 2026

Description

The Louisiana Chamber of Commerce Foundation proudly presents Business at Bayou Classic, a high-energy, free and open to the public small business showcase happening the Friday before the legendary Southern vs. Grambling rivalry. This signature experience turns Bayou Classic weekend into a vibrant marketplace and trade show featuring 100+ Louisiana businesses, engaging panel conversations, and access to valuable community and business resources.

Hosted in the ballroom at the Hyatt Regency and perfectly timed with Black Friday, Business at Bayou Classic is your go-to destination to shop local, discover handmade goods and innovative products, grab logoed swag, and find unique holiday gifts. More than a market, it is a celebration of Black excellence, entrepreneurship, and the small businesses driving Louisiana’s economy.
