Washington Community Festival

For decades, the whiskered fish was the guest of honor every year at the Washington Festival Grounds. Today, the spirit of the old Washington Catfish Festival remains strong, reincarnated into the Washington Community Festival, featuring many of the beloved activities and programming of the old fête, on Washington's Main Street. Expect blocks of vendors, live music, an antique car show, a Catfish Gravy Cook-Off, a silent auction, and a Kid's Korner with games for children of every age. 10 am–9 pm. Free. (337) 826-3626.
