The Opelousas Love Project is pleased to announce the annual Opelousas Love Fest, a free community event for local families, sponsored in partnership with the Sunrise Rotary!
Bring your family, bring your friends, and even bring your neighbors out to celebrate love, peace, and happiness for a day of community with live entertainment, fun activities, vendors from local organizations, food, Bingo and much more, all provided at no cost!
| We are happy to announce we will be a vendor at this year's event! We will have an activity for the kids and a table with fun-filled Easter Baskets to hand out with the help of our generous sponsors, Acadiana Home Expert-Lana Soileau and Quest Pediatric Dentistry in Opelousas. Our focus is on providing fun items that help build and improve fine motor skills and encourage literacy with free mini books in each basket. |
Our first year at Opelousas Love Fest we were able to supply 50 baskets of goodies for kids.
The event was such a great success and has grown since its first year, so this year our goal is to provide up to 100 Easter Baskets! (See more info below if you or your organization would like to assist us in reaching this goal!)
The Festival will begin at 10am. and ends at 4 p.m. A range of activities will be available modeled along the lines of a fun festival, company picnic, and church family day. Be sure to stop at each vendor tent for fun activities, helpful resources for families, a good meal, and much more.
Parking: No vehicles will be permitted along the North Park boardwalk. This will be a pedestrian walkway only. Parking will be available at the old North Elementary campus or IGA parking lot next to St. Landry Catholic Church. The IGA parking lot will have a shuttle service to the Love Fest grounds from 9am to 4pm.
