MARKSVILLE, La. (WNTZ) – The Arts Council of Avoyelles is teaming up with the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana and Paragon Casino Resort to present the 12th annual Avoyelles Arts & Music Festival at Paragon Casino Resort. A fresh, new experience awaits festival-goers at Louisiana’s premier July 4th destination!
“Paragon has been serving this community for 30 years, and our involvement in the parish has been our most cherished mission,” says Paragon Casino Resort General Manager Marshall Ray Sampson, Sr. “I can’t think of a better way to show our love and appreciation than by offering our grounds to host the largest and most anticipated festival of the year.”
This exciting move will feature entertainment in the cool, air-conditioned Mari Showroom, arts and crafts in the grand hall, and, as always, plenty of kid-friendly activities.
“The essence of the festival remains unchanged,” explains Allison Augustine, President of the Avoyelles Arts Council. “Our aim is to spotlight art and music in our region while bringing the community together to celebrate our nation’s birthday,” she adds.
The Avoyelles Arts & Music Festival combines all the elements you cherish about the Fourth of July: the state’s longest-running July 4th parade, live music from Louisiana artists, festival queens, food booths, a car show, a stunning fireworks display, and more!
The festival attracts over 3,000 visitors to Marksville every year. “The Avoyelles Arts & Music Festival offers visitors a fantastic opportunity to experience the hospitality and culture that Avoyelles has to offer,” says Wilbert Carmouche, Executive Director of the Avoyelles Tourism Commission.
The festival kicks off on Thursday, July 4, with a parade through Marksville at 10:00 a.m., followed immediately by opening ceremonies at Paragon Casino Resort.
