Ponchatoula Pulse, Jan. 15th

This week in Ponchatoula

January 15, 2025

Ponchatoula, you’ve been keeping the new year buzzing with activity! Last week was full of energy from creative workshops to art gallery openings, and plenty of cozy meetups. Whether you were knitting, learning, or otherwise making memories, it was another week that showcased our town’s community spirit and creativity.

This week, we’ve got even more to keep you inspired! Support local athletes, sharpen your crochet skills, or swap art supplies for a fresh creative start. Feeling festive? There are paint parties and a boutique warehouse sale to help you prep for Mardi Gras in style. And if you’re ready to learn something new, check out a self-defense class, an adventure club meetup, or yoga to unwind. From community events to creative outlets, Ponchatoula’s calendar is packed with opportunities to connect and create.

Let’s keep building on this amazing start to 2025—see you out and about, Ponchatoula!
