Lao New Year
Wat Thammarattanaram Temple 7913 Champa Avenue, Coteau, Louisiana
Iberia Parish's not inconsiderable Laotian community holds its New Year celebration, known as Songkran, every Easter weekend, and thousands from near and far will be there to honor a tradition that preserves Laotian culture here in Louisiana. The friendly folks of Lanexang Village and the temple there, Wat Thammarattanaram, offer parades, authentic cuisine and clothing, jewelry, sand castle building, live music and dancing, pageantry, and children's activities. All are welcome. (337) 658-3229 or visit the event's Facebook Page.
