Over the years, he has been actively involved in community ministry, helping others grow closer to Christ through the Rosary prayer, scripture, and the sacraments.

He will share an inspiring message on faith, peace, and our Blessed Mother.

To ask Mary to pray for us is to ask her to present our needs to her Son, Jesus, who refuses her nothing."

Mary is the health for the sick, the comforter of the afflicted, and the refuge of the repentant.

"Mary does not just hear our requests; she binds our wounds and brings our broken hearts directly to the God.

The Bayou Pigeon Heritage Association ....7th annual Wild Beast Feast ... Oct.10 2026

The Bayou Pigeon Heritage Association Wild Beast Feast is a tribute to the proud hunting heritage of the Bayou Cajuns who have called the Atchafalaya Basin and Bayou Pigeon home for generations.

Long before modern conveniences, our families depended on the woods, swamps, and bayous for food, and every hunt was a way of life that taught the importance of providing for family and neighbors.

Today, our Wild Beast Feast carries those traditions forward. Every pot, grill, and smoker is filled with wild game harvested by sportsmen and women who understand the value hunting and conservation.

The “La Bonne Chasse ‘The Good Hunt" isn't measured only by what's brought home, but by the memories made, and the stories shared around the table.

Come join us Oct. 10, 2026 ...As we gather to enjoy the bounty of God's creation, and celebrate the outdoor heritage that defines our community, and help ensure these traditions are passed on to the next generation.

Calling all Cajun camp cooks ... who is the best ... from the Eastern side of the basin... ie., Bayou Pigeon, Pierre Part, Belle River, Stephensville. The people from, PP / BR are always bragging about the food from their Firemans Fest and the St Joseph church fair.

Or is it someone from the Western side of the Basin, ie., Henderson Catahoula Breaux bridge or is Someone from south of Hwy 90, Morgan City.

come prove it... In the Spirit of Atchafalaya

The Bayou Pigeon Heritage Association wants everyone to know that the 5th Annual Bayou Pigeon Crawfest scheduled for Saturday, June 6, 2026, will go on regardless of the weather.

While the forecast is still uncertain, says 50% chance of Rain.

We are already implementing our plans to ensure that our guests, vendors, musicians, and volunteers can enjoy a great day of food, music, fellowship, and fun.

Our festivities will be moved to our indoor facilities, including the BPHA Activity Center and our covered outdoor pavilion. All scheduled activities—including the bands, auctions, food service, and museum tours—will continue as planned.

🚗 Parking Information: The biggest challenge we anticipate is parking. Due to the recent wet conditions, our regular parking area at the ball field is too saturated to safely accommodate vehicles. As a result, parking will be available along Highway 75 and other designated areas. We will have shuttle vehicles operating throughout the day to assist visitors who may need to park farther away from the festival grounds. The sheriff will provide deputies to help guide traffic satety.

Our volunteers will do everything possible to make your arrival and departure as convenient as possible.

🙏 A Special Prayer : We are extremely sorry for any inconvenience these weather-related adjustments may cause. However, with so many volunteers, vendors, musicians, sponsors, and supporters committed to this event, cancellation is simply not an option.

As many of you know, Our Lady, Queen of Peace, the patroness of our shrine at the Bayou Pigeon Heritage Association, watches over our community. We ask for her intercession and pray that the rain holds off long enough for us to enjoy a wonderful day together.

🏛️ Museum Open: The Bayou Pigeon Museum will be open throughout the day, giving visitors an opportunity to explore and experience the unique history and culture of the Atchafalaya Basin.

Crawfest 2026

In the small Cajun community of Bayou Pigeon festivals and fundraisers are far more than social events.

They are a living expression of heritage, preserving the values, relationships, and traditions that have long defined closeness of Cajuns people.

For some, the road led away from these bayous—toward opportunity, careers, and a different kind of future. The world called, and they answered. But something never left.

Feet may travel far—but the heart never does. Because this place shaped who you are. It taught faith, family, and the value of a simple life rooted in community.

Every return, whether for a weekend, a funeral, a festival, or just a drive down Highway 75, is not just a visit. It is a homecoming.

This year our Crawfest is on June 6, 2026. It is following the tradition of the Bayou Pigeon Church Fairs which was always on the first Saturday of June.

Mark your Calendars this year Crawfest is going to our Biggest and Best we will have over 40 arts and crafts vendors.

This is our 6 th Crawfest in the new era of the Bayou Pigeon Heritage Association ....

Understand The Heritage

By understanding it you will value it... by valuing it... you will want to care for it ... by caring for it... you will enjoy it... from enjoying ... the cycle continues
