Whether you're returning to your roots or learning something new, Creole Culture Day is an open invitation to experience the people, the practices, and the language that continue to shape our communities. Bring your family, your appetite, and your curiosity.
First Saturday of October, every year — we open Creole Heritage Month in Grand Coteau and put the culture back in the hands of the people who carry it.
