The good times are about to be rollin’.
The Parish is celebrating Fat Tuesday with their ninth annual Mardi Gras Festival from 2 – 10 p.m. on Tuesday, February 25.
Much like the previous years, the Parish is roasting several alligators over an open flame, each weighing between 20-30 pounds, and making a grand total of about 600 pounds of gator waiting to be eaten.

In addition, you can expect classic Cajun food and a Crawfish Boil from chef Travis Peters and his crew, beer from Abita Brewing, multiple drink specials, live music, and a massive amount of beads to go all around.
And that’s not all; both the gators and the crawfish (all 500 pounds) are flown in from Louisiana, live. How’s that for fresh and authentic?
