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 ol' family atmosphere that the Opry strives for. The lineup for October includes:

• Three Rivers Cooperative
• The Charles Richard Movement
• The Still City Jug Slammers
• Chris Akers and the Growing Boys

7 pm–9 pm. $20. abitaopry.org.
