Terrebonne Parish proclaims March 29, 2025 as “Twin Fest Day,” honoring 2nd annual celebration of twins and community

March 29, 2025 has officially been proclaimed “Twin Fest Day” in Terrebonne Parish, as the award-winning festival will return for their second year next weekend.

Spearheaded by Everybody’s Favorite Twins, Sherry and Cherry Wilmore, the 2nd Annual Twin Fest Louisiana is slated to return on March 29, 2025, from 9:00 AM-6:00 PM at the Houma Courthouse Square. This one-of-a-kind festival celebrates twins, multiples, and the people who love them, all while while giving back to the community.
