Experience MayFest!

200

Join us as we celebrate MayFest in the Leesville Historic District on May 4th and 5th, the first weekend in May.  This free festival features live music, handmade treasures, local arts, children’s activities, and, of course, food!

 

Experience MayFest!

Visit our Artisan’s Village at the North end of the Leesville Main Street District, full of those unique hand-crafted items you’re looking for—embroidery and crochet, artwork such as photographs and caricatures, wooden toys, jewelry, birdhouses, homemade soaps, and so much more!

 

You can’t miss the Food Court, right in the middle of the festival!  Just follow your nose to find your favorites—from classics like corn dogs, funnel cakes, and snow cones to plates of Ribs, Boudin, and Crawfish Etouffee, we’ve got something for everyone; and start it all off with a stack of  “cakes” at the Lion’s Club Annual Pancake Breakfast.

 

The Main Street Marketplace, full of professionals and informational booths just south of the stage on Third Street, is the place to find T-shirts, jewelry, plants, candles, and other items.

 

Let the Classic Cars show entice you with dreams and memories of being behind the wheel of a Mustang, Corvette, or Model-T.

 

Listen to our award-winning line-up of musical entertainment on the stage in front of the historic 1910 Vernon Parish Courthouse on Third Street.  The music begins at 5:00pm on Friday and runs until 10:30pm.  On Saturday, the stage comes alive at 9:00am with the opening ceremony, followed by several hours of gospel musical entertainment.  A variety of musical styles will take the stage throughout the afternoon, from zydeco to jazz, country to pop.
