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 at the Vacherie-Gheens Community Center for fifty years now. Expect Cajun food, rides, and dancing—and a festival queen, of course. Enjoy live music performances by Gary T, Kings of Neon, J.P. Bourgeois Band, Benjamin Bruce and the Acadians, Shorts in December, Pot 2 La, and more. 8 pm–midnight Friday; 11 am–1 am Saturday; 11 am–6 pm Sunday. Free admission.
