Ponchatoula Pulse, April 30th

This week in Ponchatoula

From cocktails and comedy to jazz brunch and senior parades, last week had Ponchatoula dancing to its own rhythm. Swamplight Theatre wowed us again, Twin Steeples kept creativity flowing, and if you didn’t catch the artsy workshops or bingo night, there’s always next time.

This week, we’re stepping into May with a whole new lineup. We’ve got live theatre, library events, garden clubs, and a splash of Cinco de Mayo flavor coming in hot. Whether you’re painting flowers, sipping margaritas, or book clubbin’ at the lounge—there’s something fun waiting around every corner.

Let’s see what’s going on around town this week…
