Louisiana Legends Fest is proud to announce Claiborne Parish native, Frank Foster is to be honored as the 2025 Louisiana Legend on October 18, 2025, in downtown Homer. Born in Cypress Bottom, Claiborne Parish, Frank Foster has achieved remarkable success in Country music since the release of his first album in 2011. He not only has taken the road less traveled, but the road almost never traveled. Acting as his own record label, management, booking agency and publishing company, he has managed
to find success that some major label artist may never find. This rural Louisiana native and former oilfield man has taken his songs from the campfire to the coliseum seemingly overnight, all the while gaining a following of fans whose loyalty is unmatched. He is a singer, a songwriter, and his own boss. He refuses to let anyone water down his kind of country music. If he lives it, he writes it; if he writes it, he sings it; if he sings it, he believes it.
Frank Foster … a true original and a true Louisiana Legend.
The Louisiana Legend is publicly nominated each year. More than sixty Legends Fest sponsors and board
members review the nominations and vote to select the Legend. Past legends that have been honored include Bobby Rush, Dr. James Andrews, Coach Alton “Red” Franklin and the Homer High 1957 Ironmen team. In 2024 a legacy legend recognition was added. Fashion designer Geoffrey Beene was the first to be honored as the Legacy Legend. The 2025 legacy legend will be announced in July.
We are also excited to announce Frank Foster as our music headliner performing during the event. “This is the fifth year for Legends Fest and it will be the biggest and the best to date. We could not be more pleased to have a legend like Frank Foster as part of the event as both the legend and the music headliner. He represents the best of Claiborne Parish and Louisiana in his life and his music. You will not want to miss this year’s event,” said Jack Hightower, president of Claiborne Unite Foundation, which produces the annual festival.
Legends Fest is unique in that it features diverse music across three stages; the main stage, gospel stage, and the local musician’s stage throughout the day. The festival includes food booths, vendor booths, and special events like the car show and shine, treasure hunt, art contest, dog show, 5k race, and fishing tournament on Lake Claiborne. There is something for everyone.
A distinctive feature of Legends Fest is that event profits are shared with Claiborne Parish Community Partner organizations that help plan, organize and staff the event.
