Who is excited to feel the first real chill in the air this week in the Houma - Thibodaux area?🍃 Our mornings this week have felt breezy and cool, with temps hitting the mid-80s by the afternoon, making it almost perfect festival weather for families to enjoy.
As parents, we know it's now officially time to get in the attic, shed, or storage to bust out winter clothes for the kids as we quickly move from October to November next week. Local meteorologists are predicting some much colder weather by late next week so make sure the kiddos are bundled up in jackets, coats, sweaters and other cold-weather necessities.
We have updated both of our fall guides with new events too this week! Make sure to check the event calendar, our Halloween Guide and our Fall Food & Music Festival Guide for new events in the Houma-Thibodaux area for families to enjoy.
