This week in Ponchatoula
December 11, 2024
Ponchatoula, you’ve been busy spreading holiday cheer! Last week’s Christmas Lighting Ceremony was a dazzling start to the season, and Sitting with Santa brought smiles (and plenty of adorable photos). From Winter Wonderland at PARD to glittery ornament workshops, the magic was everywhere. But hold onto your Santa hats, because this week is just as festive! Dive into the fun with holiday markets, karaoke nights, and trivia. Save your spot along the parade route for Saturday’s Ponchatoula Christmas Parade, or join in for a Merry Grinchmas adventure, Santa Brunch, or an Ugly Sweater Party. From cozy teas to creative workshops, there’s something to keep your holiday spirit glowing all week long. Let’s keep the festivities rolling, Ponchatoula!
