Welcome to Louisiana's River Parishes! On a stretch of land tucked comfortably between New Orleans and Baton Rouge alongside the mighty Mississippi River and minutes from the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, our community is the ideal, scenic destination to host your next sports event. 

Known as the Catfish Capital of the Universer, Louisiana’s River Parishes is home to beautiful bayous, lakes, and prime waterways capable of hosting the best fishing competitions.  On land, tucked away deep within our curves along the Mississippi River are state-of-the-art community centers with ample square footage to host indoor sporting events.  We are also home to many baseball and softball diamonds as well as multi-purpose fields. 

Outside of competition, we allure visitors by telling the multidimensional, memorable, and poignant stories of River Parish culture. It’s about the countless experiences and flavors found in everything from our andouille to our perique tobacco.  It’s the bite of an alligator and the spice in our gumbo. Our sugarcane waves in the wind to the beat of our soul music as the leaves of the mighty oak dance to the song of the field.
