Ponchatoula strawberry festival is gridlock.

I've always been a bit tiffed about the strawberry festivals in general. We don't have strawberries here yet, but I guarantee you that our Strawberry Festival is coming up in a week or two.

I lived there for about a decade and never went, I absolutely hated the festival weekend. It was a pain to get in and out of town

The traffic is horrible, but just the amount of people trying to walk around downtown and at the food booths was crazy. My son goes often and he said this is by far the worse he has ever seen.

Do they always close the interstate exits?

not sure about that but I’ve seen plenty people park on the shoulder of 55 and walk to downtown

I went once some time ago. It was nice.

I went again recently. It wasn't nearly as nice. Stopped going.


Haven't been to the washington parish fair in like a decade. Anyone know if it's still somewhat good?

Been once in my life. That was enough

Lol - I went in 2007 - my oldest 3 were 3 years old and under and a stomach bug kicked in while I was there

I was vomiting all over the place - and two people said ‘that’s horrible that woman is so drunk with those little kids, her poor husband’

I didn’t even eat a strawberry- I did buy a strawberry plant that lasted for like 10 years but I can’t say I had fun

It's wild out there today. So many people.

Weather is nice though. Great for all the local vendors and organizations.

My wife and I left a little while ago. First time we’ve been. It’s trashy as frick. Was not expecting that at all.
