Lighting of the Village

Lovable costumed characters, a petting zoo, choirs, and the arrival of Santa in Le Vieux Village—a collection of historic buildings dating from the 1700s to the early twentieth century. Beginning with the upbeat rhythms by the JS Clark Leadership Academy Choir, the event is marked by the iconic "pulling of the switch," illuminating the thousands of lights in the neighborhood. 5 pm–8 pm. cajuntravel.com.
