What does S&B Events do?

S&B Events, operated by Smoke & Barrel Inc., is a non-profit organization focused on producing high-quality entertainment events in Southwest Louisiana. Founded as Smoke & Barrel Inc., the organization rebranded in 2024 to highlight S&B Events, expanding its mission to support tourism, the arts, and local charities. The organization aims to enrich the community while raising funds for initiatives like United Way of Southwest Louisiana's "Success by 6," which provides scholarships for early education. S&B Events specializes in food and beverage-centric tasting events held annually in Lake Charles. Signature events include Smoke & Barrel, a fall celebration of culinary experiences, and Rum Revival, a spring festival featuring rum, tequila, and Caribbean cuisine. These events not only offer premium tastings and entertainment but also drive economic impact by increasing tourism and supporting local charities. Sponsorship opportunities play a key role in enhancing the events and their charitable contributions.
