Annual Vermilionville Bayou Fest & Boat Parade

Round up some friends, a canoe, some costumes, and a fiddle or two. Kick off the start of fall with the annual Bayou Fest & Boat Parade starting at the dock at Vermilionville. The parade will wind along the bayou all the way to Southside Park, with music serenading boaters as they float. Be sure to catch the boat decorating contests, shore party, games, drinks, and food. No boat? No problem. Canoes and kayaks are available for rent. 11:30 am. bayouvermiliondistrict.org.
