By Tracie Ysaguire, Publisher for Macaroni KID Houma September 25, 2025

It's the final weekend of September.... WHAT! I don't know where she's going, but September is surely in a hurry! 

We have officially entered the fall season in Louisiana and that means fall festivals, bonfires, trunk-or-treats, and plenty of events packed into every weekend from in Houma, Thibodaux, Raceland, Galliano, Cut Off, and everywhere in between. Some may like the big music festivals that last over a three day weekend, while other families may enjoy the smaller events, especially if there are littles involved. We are working behind the scenes to keep the event calendar updated with as many local events this fall that will entertain all families in the Bayou Region. 

Here are the top article picks that have been released this week:
