Here are some ideas you might want to take advantage of:
The Shrimp and Petroleum Festival (Aug 30 – Sep 2) is where tens of thousands flock south to Morgan City to celebrate Louisiana’s oldest chartered harvest festival. For a complete schedule call (800) 256-2931 or visit http://www.shrimp-petrofest.org/.
While we’re on festivals, there’s the Southwest Louisiana Zydeco Festival , fifteen hours of non-stop music, food, crafts and culture demonstrations at the Zydeco Festival Grounds. (337) 232-7672 or http://www.zydeco.org/ for details
For a more leisurely pace, you might want to consider a visit to Ocean Springs, MS, Sept 1, where artists showcase their talents along with musicians and chefs inside and outside local businesses and galleries the length and breadth of downtown. (228) 875-4424
Speaking of Mississippi, don’t forget the easy drive to beaches around Biloxi. Pack a lunch, bring a book and escape to the quiet surf of the coast. Enjoy the solitude there while the crowds invade Alabama.
Maybe your interest is boating down the Amite River or the Diversion Canal. You don’t even need to own a boat! You could rent one from “Getting You Wet” Boat Rentals (225) 698-6922, Gonzales, LA and putting in at Port Vincent.
Whatever your plans, make memories and make it safe!
