On Tap This Weekend

With the Christmas holidays fast approaching this weekend is the perfect time to take advantage of some exciting activities and events that Hammond has to offer.  Highlighting the weekend is the 6th annual Gumbo Cook-Off and weekend number two of the Louisiana Renaissance Festival. 

Yeah we know Mardi Gras is four months away but we are always up for a parade in these parts.  The SLU Lions in conjunction with the Hammond Square Mall will be hosting "Lions on the Square", featuring a parade down Palace Drive.  Also the Hammond Regional Art Center kicks off its James Michalopoulos exhibit this weekend, as the artist himself makes an appearance.

Check out the full listing of what's On Tap this weekend and come out and enjoy the experience of historic downtown Hammond.  Y'all be sure to enjoy your weekend!
