Ponchatoula Pulse, March 26th

This week in Ponchatoula

Strawberry season is creeping in, and Ponchatoula is buzzing with excitement! 🍓✨ Last week, we sipped and painted, danced at Live After 5, and celebrated Julian Dufreche Strawberry Day in the Park. From craft swaps to writers’ groups, the town was full of creativity, community, and a little bit of competitive cornhole. But don’t pack it in yet—there’s plenty more fun on the way!

This week brings the Strawberry Festival Poster Unveiling, a Bunny Bash, and the always-popular Toula’s Twilight Makers Market! 🎨🐰 Plus, with sewing workshops and open mic nights, there’s something for everyone. So grab your dancing shoes, your paintbrush, or your pickleball paddle—Ponchatoula is keeping the good times rolling! 🎶🎭🏓
