Washington Community Festival
The Washington Community Festival is a revitalization of the former Catfish Festival which was historically held in the steamboat town. It will take place on Saturday, March 21 along Washington’s Main Street from 10am to 6pm. It’s gonna be a good time in the old town!
The event will host three blocks of vendors, live music, a car show, and a Catfish Cook-Off. The Bayou Courtableau has been famous for many years for its large catfish, so this cook-off fits right in with the heritage of the area and is a subtle nod to the older festival.
Enjoy live performances by Horace Trahan & the Ossun Express, Don Fontenot et Les Amis de la Louisiane as well as a Cajun & Creole Jam with Mark Ardoin.
