For this picnic, no need to bring your own basket; fresh, succulent seafood is provided by Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board, including shrimp, catfish, and crawfish (prepared by Geaux Creole), as well as jambalaya by Patton's Caterers, with a sno-ball truck for cool treats.

The day's events include live entertainment by Four Unplugged and The Prescriptions, with lots of family activities, including:

Canoeing and kayaking by Canoe & Trail Adventures

Inflatables

Miniature horses from Quinn-Tate Farms

Face painting by Fontainebleau High School art students

Pick-a-Duck by Trinity Counseling Center, LLC in Mandeville
