Join us for the 14th Annual
Community Christmas Gumbo

​

Our Founder and Executive Director, John Williams, developed Community Christmas Gumbo 14 years ago in his hometown of Sunset with the desire to show others the importance of always remembering where you came from.

 

But we're expanding this wonderful event for the first time! We hope you will join us to do some Holiday Shopping with arts and crafts vendors and the wonderful merchants of downtown Grand Coteau! There will be indeed something for all ages to enjoy!

​

There's even an Art Walk planned that afternoon! Entry in the event is FREE!
