BELLE CHASSE, La. (press release) – The 22nd Annual Plaquemines Parish Seafood Festival will take place April 24-26, bringing a celebration of local seafood, culture and community to the festival grounds at 333 F. Edward Hebert Blvd. in Belle Chasse.

Festival-goers can enjoy a wide variety of fresh seafood prepared by local restaurants and organizations, including one of the parish’s signature staples: chargrilled oysters.
