Not Your Mama's Gumbo Cook Off
Abita Springs Trailhead Plaza 22049 Main Street, Abita Springs, Louisiana 70420
Nothing brings the people together like an old-fashioned gumbo cook off. Head out to the Abita Springs Trailhead this weekend, and get lined up as early as 9:30 am. $10 gets you a wristband and a say-so in the People's Choice Awards. Keep Abita Beautiful will also be raffling off a Weber Q 1200 Black 8500-BTU 189-square-inch portable gas grill from 1:30 pm–2:30 pm. Tickets are $1, and winner must be present to claim their prize. Besides the gallons of gumbo, attendees will also enjoy side items and beverages (adult and otherwise) provided for sale by local vendors and organizations. All proceeds will go towards city beautification projects, glass recycling, liter cleanups, and educational programs. louisiananorthshore.com.
