It's a Blast on the Bayou--Morgan City, La
Noisy, high-octane fun snorts across the waters of Lake Palourde when the Morgan City Power Boat Association hosts the annual Atchafalaya Eastern divisional powerboat races over the Memorial Day weekend. More than one hundred powerboats and a festive atmosphere are expected, with entries coming from as far as Canada, New York, Virginia, California, and Washington state to compete in thirteen classes of racing. The course will be one and a quarter miles or four laps, approved for records. The motors roar from 9 am–4 pm daily.On dry land, plans call for a kiddy corner and live music stage each day, with a lineup of local entertainers. $10 adults; free for kids under 12. (985) 384-3000.

If you'd like to camp right there on Lake Palourde, you can stay at Lake End Park and Campground right there at the Lake in Morgan City.
