A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone with the Jesuit Bend Park Foundation for ALWAYS providing first-class, family-oriented fun for our entire parish! ❤️ Our Seafood Festival family has enjoyed these wonderful events since DAY ONE, and it’s such a blessing to see our community continue to come together year after year for good times, laughter, and memories!

From the amazing costumes and perfectly decorated, generous tents to the excited crowds and grateful smiles, everything was just SPOOKTACULAR! 🧙‍♀️🕸️🧡 It takes a whole lot of hard work, planning, and big-hearted people to make these events happen, and we are so thankful for every person who played a part.

And to everyone who generously donated to Jesuit Bend Park — THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts! 💚 Your generosity and continued support mean so much to the Park Foundation and help make these wonderful family events possible for our community.

We’re already looking forward to the NEXT ADVENTURE… 🐰🌷🥚 ON TO THE EASTER EVENT! 😂💐 Because when Jesuit Bend Park brings the fun, you know the Seafood Festival family will be ready to join in!

🎀🩷 A BEAUTIFUL EVENING FOR A BEAUTIFUL CAUSE! 🩷🎀

Our very own Seafood Pearl, Sophia Covington, enjoyed a wonderful evening at the Pink Sponsor Social for the 9th Annual Fishing for the Girls Rodeo! 🎣🩷

This special evening was about so much more than fishing. It was about celebrating the incredible heroes who have WON their battle against breast cancer, honoring those who are courageously FIGHTING, and remembering those whose strength and journeys continue to inspire us all. Every survivor, every fighter, every family member, and every supporter is part of a community united by HOPE, LOVE, and the determination to make a difference. 🎀💗

The Plaquemines Parish Seafood Festival is proud to once again stand as a PINK SPONSOR in support of breast cancer awareness, education, and research. We believe that when a community comes together for a cause that touches so many lives, beautiful things happen! 🩷

🎣 Today is a beautiful day to get outdoors, cast a line, and fish for a purpose! Join Sophia at the Myrtle Grove Marina for the Fishing for the Girls Rodeo on Saturday, October 24th. Come enjoy the sunshine, fellowship, food, fun, and festivities while helping raise much-needed funds to support breast cancer awareness and research.

Every cast, every donation, every sponsorship, and every act of kindness helps keep HOPE alive for those who need it most. Let’s show up, stand together, and continue making waves in the fight against breast cancer! 🎀🎣

From our Seafood Festival family to all the courageous women and men touched by this disease, we celebrate you, we stand beside you, and we are cheering you on every step of the way! 🩷

The Plaquemines Parish Seafood Festival was once again BLESSED to help sponsor this wonderful event and support the incredible work of the Plaquemines Community C.A.R.E. Center! 💙

🎨 A HUGE THANK-YOU TO HOLLY MULLINS SMITH OF BURAS! Holly graciously donated her beautiful painting of Plaquemines Parish, allowing us to raise EXTRA funds through our raffle to benefit the C.A.R.E. Center and the important services it provides to our community!

Congratulations to our lucky painting winner, Jayna Petkovich! 🎉 And THANK YOU to everyone who purchased raffle tickets and helped us support this wonderful cause. Every ticket made a difference, and we are so grateful for your generosity! 🥰

💎🕵️‍♀️ BUT WAIT… THERE WAS A JEWEL HEIST! 🕵️‍♀️💎

Our Seafood Festival family added a little mystery, mischief, and PLAYFUL FUN to the evening with our JEWEL HEIST SCAVENGER HUNT! 🔍💎 Curious hunters searched high and low throughout the Croatian building, hoping to uncover the missing treasures!

And in the end… FIVE LUCKY “PARISIAN LADIES” successfully recovered the hidden jewels and went home with gifts of their own! 🎁🇫🇷

Thank you to everyone who joined in the fun and searched high and low for those elusive jewels! We hope you enjoyed playing along with our little jewel-stealing shenanigans! 😂

🏆🧽💎 AND NOW… THE MOMENT WE’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR! THE AWARD FOR BEST COSTUMES OF THE NIGHT GOES TO… THE PLAQUEMINES PARISH SEAFOOD FESTIVAL FAMILY! 💎🧽🏆

THAT’S RIGHT! Our infamous MAINTENANCE WINDOW-CLEANING CREW — the very crew accused of pulling off the daring jewel heist at the LOUVRE — walked away with BEST COSTUMES OF THE NIGHT! 😂🪟💎

Who knew a crew of window cleaners could cause so much mischief while supporting such a wonderful cause?! We may have been dressed as the infamous jewel thieves, but our hearts were in the right place — helping raise funds for the C.A.R.E. Center and bringing a little extra laughter, creativity, and fun to the evening! ❤️

WE CAME, WE CLEANED, WE HEISTED… AND WE WON! 🏆🤣💎

At the end of the day, the greatest treasure wasn’t hidden anywhere in the building — IT WAS THE GENEROSITY, LOVE, AND COMMUNITY SPIRIT SHARED BY EVERYONE IN THAT ROOM! ❤️✨

The Plaquemines Parish Seafood Festival is proud to support organizations that make a difference in the lives of our neighbors. We believe in giving back, lending a helping hand, and showing up for the people and causes that make our parish so special!

💙 THANK YOU for helping us support the Plaquemines Community C.A.R.E. Center! Together, we are making a difference right here at HOME! 💙

☀️🦐 WHEN GOD BLESSES YOUR COMMUNITY WITH GORGEOUS WEATHER… THE COMMUNITY SHOWS UP! 🐟❤️

What a beautiful day of community, fellowship, and supporting our local heroes at the Sheriff Gerald A. Turlich, Jr. Cochon de Lait! 🐷🔥

Our Plaquemines Parish Seafood Festival family was right in our element, frying up some delicious fish and serving it up with a whole lot of Seafood Festival love! 🐟🍽️ It was wonderful to see everyone come together, enjoy the beautiful weather, and support such a great local event. We even had the pleasure of visiting with some of our local dignitaries who stopped by to get a taste! 👏🏼🇺🇸

And because October is NATIONAL SEAFOOD MONTH, we decided that instead of saying “CHEESE” for the pictures, everyone needed to say… “SEAAAAFOOD!” 📸🦐😂

From the frying pots to the photo ops, it was a day filled with smiles, great food, familiar faces, and that special community spirit that makes Plaquemines Parish such a wonderful place to call home! 💙

That’s what it’s all about — showing up, giving back, and supporting one another! ❤️🦐
