The Gheens Bon Mangè Festival is celebrating 51 years of food, culture, and community fun at their annual event this weekend.

 

Held on the first full weekend in June, the Gheens Bon Mangè Festival features fresh cooked food made with ingredients mostly harvested from the community, with recipes handed down through the generations.

 

The festival takes place inside the air conditioned Vacherie-Gheens Community Center and also includes live music, bounce houses, sweets, and a live auction.
