Let the good times flow during the Bayou Vermilion Boat Parade, Saturday, September 28. This annual celebration of the Bayou Vermilion begins at Vermilionville and continues downriver for about ten miles to Southside Park!

This year’s parade sets sail at 11:30 a.m. from Vermilionville with a celebratory toast by this year’s Grand Marshal, Jenee Dansdil, President of the Bayou Vermilion Preservation Association! The parade, serenaded by the New Natives Brass Band, proceeds 10.6 miles downriver to BVD’s Southside Park. If you prefer a shorter journey, you can join the parade beginning at Camellia Boulevard canoe and kayak launch and end at Southside Park, which is 5.0 miles. At the end of the

parade at Southside Park, the party begins! There’ll be food and beverages, beer from the Vermilionville Brewhouse, games and live music by Ask for Ashley. There will also be contests with prizes awarded for Best Costume, Best Decorated Vessel, and Best Decorated House.

Event schedule and registration information as well as vessel rental information can be found on our Facebook pages or on our website, BayouVermilionDistrict.org.

Libraries make knowledge accessible to everyone with resources in-person and online. The Lafayette Public Library offers programs for all ages, from computer classes to crafts, book clubs, lifestyle classes, lecture series, and more.

During September, the Lafayette Public Library issues a limited-edition library card designed by a local artist to celebrate our community and the librarys services. Our 2024 library card comes from the creative mind of local illustrator and award-winning art director, Burton Durand!

After years of working in advertising as a designer and art director, he is now a freelance creative based right here in Lafayette.

When asked about what inspired the design of this years limited edition card, Durand replied, I wanted to use a playful retro illustration style, something that could appeal to both kids and adults. Something that could be out of a cartoon from the 70s or from today. I usually try to inject a bit of humor into my work, which I think works really well here.

This limited-edition design is now available at LPL.
