Praise Fest
on the bayou
Gospel Music Experience
01 About
In 2009, Praise Fest was created to bring back families and communities for a weekend of A Gospel Music Experience along with family fun activities in the aftermath of one of the nation’s most devastating hurricanes Hurricane Katrina.
Praise Fest is a highly anticipated 3-day Outdoor Event that is FREE to all and take place every October on Bayou St. John.
In the wake of COVID-19 and the Global Pandemic that we’ve all experienced 2 years ago we need to continue to be UPLIFTED! We are gearing up for another great festival October 13-15, 2023!
We are very excited about the Local and National Christian/Gospel music artists, entertainers, and world renowned speakers that will once again Bless us over the 3-day period. The purpose of this event is to bring different cultures together to Praise & orship the Lord Jesus Christ as one body. The audience is compiled of families, churches, community leaders, and professionals.
OCT 13-15, 11:00AM – 7:00PM daily

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
