Ponchatoula Pulse, May 7th

This week in Ponchatoula

We rolled right into May with books, brunch, board games, and bingo. Last week gave us garden club gatherings, theatre thrills, Cinco de Mayo celebrations, and even a ribbon cutting or two—because why not make everyday feel like an event?

Now, this week’s vibe? All about mamas, makers, and music. From Live After 5 in downtown to brunches, mimosas, and muffins with Mom, there’s no shortage of sweet ways to celebrate. Sprinkle in some bingo, wine, sketching, and small-town charm, and you’ve got yourself another great week in the ‘Toula.

Here’s what’s going on around town…
