Tips & Advice
- Make a full day of it by spending the daytime at the church festivities, then staying for the lighted boat parade on Bayou Lafourche that evening.
- The boats run up the bayou to Airport Road, then back down to the southern end of Golden Meadow, so plan your viewing spot along that stretch.
- Bring the kids early, since kids' activities, music and craft booths run at Our Lady of Prompt Succor Church before the evening parade.
- Dress warmly and bring a chair for the evening, since you'll be standing or sitting along the bayou in December to watch the boats.
