Plaquemines Parish Seafood Festival-goers get to feast on fresh Gulf Coast seafood (of course), bow down before the Seafood Queen, peruse crafts from local artisans, watch the big oyster drop (and find out what that is), enjoy some favorite carnival games and rides, and take in an eclectic mix of local music—this year including R&R Smokin' Foundation, Nashville South, and Rockin' Dopsie Jr. & the Zydeco Twisters. Gates open Friday from 6 pm–10:30 pm, Saturday from 11:30 am–10:30 pm, and Sunday from 11:30 am–8:30 pm. Admission free on Friday, on Saturday and Sunday $5 for adults and free for children. plaqueminesparishfestival.com.
