Ponchatoula Pulse, July 9th

This week in Ponchatoula

Last week in Ponchatoula, we wrapped June with all the creativity and community you could ask for. The library brought Shakespeare and didgeridoos, Sunshine Studio kept the kiddos inspired with art camps, and local spots like Roux & Brew and Twin Steeples filled the evenings with tastings and dancing. Between car shows, bingo nights, and pickleball matches, the summer calendar didn’t miss a beat.

This week, we’re rolling right into July with fireworks, festivities, and a full slate of ways to stay cool and connected. There’s a pop-up kids paint party, a Southern Soul Night, and plenty of chances to lace up your skates or get moving in Zumba. However you celebrate the 4th, Ponchatoula is ready to make it a week to remember.
