Frightmare On Main Street Returns To New Iberia

Frightmare on Main Street takes place on the grounds of the historic Hot Sauce House at 924 East Main Street in New Iberia.

The location provides a perfectly eerie setting for a haunted trail featuring live scare actors and creepy scenes designed to keep visitors looking over their shoulders.

According to frightmareonmainstreet.com, the 2026 experience has been revamped with additional actors, more scares, and darker nightmares.

In other words, if you visited in a previous year, don't assume you already know what awaits you around the next corner.

The outdoor trail stretches approximately one-quarter of a mile, taking roughly about 15 to 20 minutes to make it all the way through. That might not sound like a long walk, but it's amazing how long this can feel when you've got creepy scares waiting for you around every turn.

It will feel like an eternity.
