La Fête d'Ecologie

According to the folks around Jean Lafitte Park, no other place on Earth is disappearing as quickly as the Barataria-Terrebonne Estuary. A scary thought, indeed. Pay homage to an endangered way of life, and find out how to help save it during this day of educational fun on the banks of Bayou Lafourche. Taste local favorite foods, watch folk art demonstrations, compete in the duck calling competition, learn how to cast a net with the mythological Cast Net King, and dance to zydeco and Cajun music supplied by live bands. This fete is a true Louisiana gem. 10 am–5 pm at Lake End Park in Morgan City. Free. http://lafete.btnep.org or (985) 447-0868.
