Atchafalaya Basin Festival

Settled right on the great water basin itself, Henderson's Henry Guidry Memorial Park makes an ideal site for the annual celebration of this beloved and unique landscape. Expect a day of dancing, eating, fun jumps, rock wall climbing, and more. In addition to a line-up of local musicians, festival-goers can expect car and truck shows, live and silent auctions, raffles, and cooking contests. All funds raised will go towards Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church and Sacred Heart of Jesus Chapel. 7 am–10:30 pm at 103 Park Drive. Free. basinfestival.com.
