With Plaquemines Parish being hit so hard by Hurricane Katrina, our first thoughts were that routine life would cease for months or years to come.
As time passed and the clouds cleared, we had a change of heart. With much encouragement and offers of help, we decided to proceed and to temporarily relocate our activities from devastated Historic Fort Jackson in Buras, LA to the Medal of Honor Park in Belle Chasse while South Plaquemines rebuilds. We did have the 2005 Orange Festival 107 days after the Hurricane.

Plaquemines Parish is Louisiana's southernmost Parish where the great Mississippi River meets the Gulf of Mexico. The Parish is a region of ecological wonder with its many waterways, fishing and hunting grounds, and the best Citrus in the Country.
This year we are celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the Plaquemines Parish Fair & Orange Festival held annually the first full weekend of December. It will be held again at the Medal of Honor Park, at the end of Barriere Road in Belle Chasse, LA just a few miles from New Orleans. After you exit the Belle Chasse Tunnel, you take and right turn at the first traffic light onto Barriere Road and go to the end of the road. The park will be the right side with lots of free parking on the left.
The Plaquemines Parish Fair & Orange Festival has many of activities to offer the entire family. We invite you to take a trip to Belle Chasse, Louisiana and experience our wonderful food, entertainment, contests, crafts, novelties and hospitality.
