Louisiana Cat Fest

Cat ladies (and fellas, too) unite at this felinious celebration at the Fleur-de-Lis Event Center in Mandeville. Hosted by Big Sky CARES and Art for Cats' Sake, it's a day of entertainment, education, and community—with all proceeds supporting research for feline illnesses. 

Shop the cat marketplace, observe educational demonstrations, take part in interactive contests (including a cat costume contest!), and enjoy food and drink from local purveyors. Cats and kittens will be onsite, available for adoption. And you'll even get the opportunity to try out "Kitty Yoga"! 10 am–5 pm. $20 for ages thirteen and older; $10 for ages seven to twelve; free for younger. Family ticket packages available, as well as VIP Cocktail Pawty passes. Details at louisianacatfest.org.
