southdowns market

It happens for one day, twice a year in spring and fall—the outdoor arts & crafts show that brings scores of local and national vendors and their unique handmade products to the grounds of Southdown Plantation House and Museum in Houma. They arrive bearing jewelry, clothing, woodcrafts, furniture, pottery, paintings, photography, toys, dolls, metalwork, florals, candles, and more. There are usually books by local authors, home-grown plants, antiques and collectibles, and children’s hands-on craft projects. Alongside, food vendors bring a huge sampling of Cajun food favorites. Tours of the house, too. $5 adults; free for children 12 and younger. 8 am–4 pm. southdownmuseum.org.
