Please join the Bayou Culture Collaborative for their October 2024 gathering of people and organizations focused on preserving Louisiana’s heritage and examining the effects of land loss on local culture.
“The 2024 Rougarou Fest will feature a Folklife Village, an area on the festival grounds where visitors can engage with various aspects of culture, humanities, and folklore. It will feature demonstrations, workshops, performances, and exhibits showcasing traditional crafts, music, dance, storytelling, and other traditions unique to South Louisiana,” reads a statement from the Bayou Culture Collaborative. “On the Saturday of the Rougarou Festival, the BCC management team and working groups will also have a space within the Folklife Village to promote and share information about the group’s workings.”
The October gathering of the Bayou Culture Collaborative will be in-person at the Rougarou Fest, which will take place October 18-20, 2024 in Houma. The gathering will happen on Saturday, October 19, 2024 from 10:00 AM-5:00 PM (parking lot of the Barry P. Bonvillain Civic Center).
The Louisiana Folklore Society offers these gatherings to share perspectives on the human dimension of coastal land loss. In partnership with the Center for Bayou Studies at Nicholls State Univ. and the South Louisiana Wetlands Discovery Center, the Bayou Culture Gatherings are supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Louisiana Division of the Arts, the Office of Cultural Development and the Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism, the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities, and the Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary Program.
