Fall Celebration

Fall Celebration at Black Bayou Lake NWR
is the climax to National Wildlife Refuge Week

The Friends of Black Bayou, in cooperation with the U.S.. Fish and Wildlife Service, celebrates its annual Fall Celebration at Black Bayou Lake National Wildlife Refuge, in October each year.  The public is enthusiastically invited to attend.

Each year, a list of activities is published, which includes: 

  • free food, including fish fry, corn dogs, side dishes, desserts, and drinks;

  • release of baby turtles into the wildlife refuge lake;

  • photo contest winners;

  • prize drawings and awards;

  • face painting, workshops for kids to make fun items, and learn about conserving our natural resources; and

  • much more fun activity for all ages.

Bring your entire family and join in the celebration.
