This week in Ponchatoula
December 18, 2024
Ponchatoula, you really know how to celebrate! Last week’s Christmas Parade was a picture-perfect holiday moment—floats were sparkling, the music was merry, and the smiles stretched all the way down the route. If that didn’t get you into the spirit, I don’t know what will! But don’t hang up your Santa hats just yet—this week is packed with more festive fun. Snap Selfies with Santa, sip cocoa while creating your own ceramic mug, or catch a cozy Family Movie Night at the library. The Grinch is making multiple mischief-filled appearances, from brunch to skating shenanigans. Feeling lucky? Head to Bingo Night or belt out your favorite tune at Open Mic and Karaoke nights. With crafts, storytimes, and plenty of holiday cheer, let’s keep the magic rolling right through the weekend.
Check out our links about all of the great establishments in our city at the bottom of this issue. Be sure to add any that are missing and any upcoming events!
