Since 1996, the Festival has ended with the popular "Stella and Stanley Shouting Contest", a tribute to the third scene from "A Streetcar Named Desire". The contest is open to the public and held on the last day of the Festival, usually Sunday afternoon, in Jackson Square. Actors playing the role of Stella and Stanley provoke the contestants from a gallery from one of the Pontalba Buildings. After the first round of tryouts, a second round takes place, where finalists compete for prizes and trophies.
