Depending on when you're coming, the shoulder of BUS 51 by the tracks is easy. I think Gabriel Building Supply does pay to park and is close.

Contact Ponchatoula Police and see if they have anything set up ahead of time.

Sorry! I can't answer anything about the parade. When I arrived it was only for the festival. I was traveling and heard it on the radio.

I'm not sure but they sell them all day

Thank you for your response

Yes

Are you going to advertise the USS Ponthatoula memorial park too? My daddy was on that ship. He came for the reunions. I think it should be a part of the festival too.

Yes

Not sure. I park along the road like most people do, you can get pretty close.

Booths on the festival grounds are for non-profit organizations only. The 2019 Application and Rules can be found on our website under "Downloads". For profit vendors may contact the City of Ponchatoula or the Ponchatoula Country Market for possible booth options. Thank you for your interest in our festival!

No, Ponchatoula strawberries can only be bought in Ponchatoula. Though personally, I would say that the drive and purchase would be worth it for fresh berries.

It has been cancelled today due to the weather. It will open Sunday morning at 10:00am
