Bon Mangé Festival

Down there in the Lockport neck of the woods, not too far from Lake Salvador, lies the community of Gheens, where the good folks host an annual 'good eats" festival featuring Cajun food, rides, and dancing—and a festival queen, of course. Live music performances by Junior Lacrosse and Sumtin Sneaky, Pah Tu La, Benjamin Bruce and The Acadians, Cully Cressionie, Shorts in December, Gary T, and Freddie Rodrigue. Held at the Vacherie-Gheens Community Center at 1783 Highway 654 from 8 pm–midnight Friday; 11 am–1 am Saturday; 11 am–6 pm Sunday. Free admission.
