Ponchatoula Pulse, March 5th

This week in Ponchatoula

Mardi Gras may be over, but the fun in Ponchatoula is just getting started! 🎭✨ Last week, folks got creative with painting classes, sewing socials, and open mic nights, while Mardi Gras cocktail tastings and bingo brought people together. Now that the beads have settled, it’s time to gear up for a jam-packed weekend!

We’ve got Live After 5, the Krewe of Erin Parade, and Antique Trade Days—and that’s just the beginning! Add in a Gumbo Cook-Off, a Job Fair, and a Let’s Dance night, and you’ve got a weekend full of excitement. So don’t slow down now—Ponchatoula’s keeping the good times rolling! 🎶🍀🎨
