Food and drink will be provided by our community partners: Rendezvous restaurant, Lamm Food Service, and Bimbo Bakeries USA. Coloring books and crayons will also be provided for children at each party courtesy of Bayou Region Crime Stoppers.

For a new twist in 2023, signs bearing the event hashtag, #NNOLafourche will be at each party location. Those attending parties are encouraged to take photos holding the hashtag signs and repost them on social media outlets using that hashtag. The Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office will also have posts on Facebook and Twitter on Tuesday asking people to comment or reply with their photos. The hashtag signs have been donated by the Lafourche Civic Association.

Anyone in Lafourche Parish who has planned a party that is not on this list is asked to contact Deputy Melissa Simmons at (985) 449-4478 or via email at melissa-simmons@lpso.net.
