2024 Halloween Activities & Events In Southwest Louisiana

Fall is here and October is the time of the year that jump-starts the holiday season. The Fall decorations are up, signaling cooler days and nights are ahead. Open the windows and let the fresh air in. Summer is behind us and it's time to ring-in a new season. Speaking of which, there are several events line-up to do just that in Southwest Louisiana.

Below is a list of those special events, by Parish, and I'm sure you won't have any problem finding something fun to do. We will add to this list periodically as more events in the area are announced. But for now, there are a good number of festive celebrations and fun-filled activities for everyone in the family to take part in both young and old. Have a happy Fall!
