La Fête des Vieux Temps

Lafourche Parish's "Festival of the Old Times" brings back the festivities of old, featuring demonstrations of traditional boat building, an old fashioned boucherie, a sugarcane syrup mill, educational lectures on Cajun culture, and much, much more. Local artists and crafters will be on site with their wares, along with plenty of live music and local cuisine. Be sure to get a plate of old fashioned sauce piquante during the cook off on Saturday. With a "Bayou Water" (beer) in hand, prepare to fais do do all weekend long. 4484 Highway 1, under the overpass. facebook.com/lafetedesvieuxtemps.
