May at the Abita Springs Opry

The Abita Springs Opry is devoted to preserving Louisiana's indigenous music in all its guises. Arrive early and join the folks who've made a ritual of enjoying gumbo, hot dogs, and homemade pastries, not to mention the pre-show sound checks and front porch concerts. It all adds up to the good ole family atmosphere that the Opry strives for. The lineup for May's show includes:

• Last Chance Bluegrass Band
• Spider Murphy and the Fatback Vipers
• OK Crawdad
• Sherman Bernard

7 pm–9 pm. Doors open at 5:45 pm. Food available. $18. (985) 892-0711 or abitaopry.org.
