The Plaquemines Parish Seafood Festival celebrates with a weekend of live music, seafood and more. Rockin' Dopsie & the Zydeco Twisters, Sammy Kershaw, Adam's Attic, Bag of Donuts and the Big River Band are among the headliners on the festival's two stages. There's a Seafood Queen pageant, kids' area, amusement rides and more. Food vendors offer an array of local seafood and other dishes. Proceeds from the festival benefit area charities and organizations, which in recent years have included the American Cancer Society and Children's Hospital. Tickets $5, children 12 and under free. — Marta Jewson
