The Centenary Alumni Association is excited to announce the return of its fan-favorite fundraiser, Beast Feast: Something for Everyone, happening Saturday, April 26, 2025, from 4:30 to 7:00 PM on Jones-Rice Field at Centenary College.
This unique, festival-style event features bold, “off-the-menu” culinary creations alongside classic southern favorites—all prepared by local cook teams. Best of all, every bite supports student scholarships at Centenary College.
Centenary President, Dr. Christopher Holoman, is once again firing up the grill to roast a pig, a beloved Beast Feast tradition. Other adventurous eats include grilled pheasant, wild boar birria, and crawfish cornbread. Want a real kick? Don’t miss the “Lava Noodles” from the Pepper Pals! Traditional favorites like brisket, gumbo, and shrimp and grits will also be served, along with vegetarian and vegan options to ensure there’s truly something for everyone.
“This event is the perfect blend of what we value most—community, connection, and we add in a dash of friendly competition for good measure,” said Hannah Rachal-Hughes, Director of Alumni and Family Relations. “We’re thrilled to welcome alumni, families, and neighbors for an afternoon of great food and even better company, all for a great cause.”
Each cook team will also compete for the coveted Best of Beast Feast title, so expect their A-game!
