💙 Memorial Day weekend in Jefferson Parish.

Start with the reason for the weekend. Join the Parish's Memorial Day ceremony at Lakeside Shopping Center and take a minute to honor the ones we remember. Then spend the rest however feels right. Pack a picnic for Lafreniere Park. Take the drive down to Grand Isle. Launch a kayak into the bayou and let the afternoon go where it wants.

However you spend it, this is a good place to be.
