About North Central Louisiana District Fair
The La Salle Parish Fair in Jena celebrates a central Louisiana piney woods parish that gained national attention in 2006 when the Jena Six case — involving six Black students charged with attempted murder after a schoolyard fight — sparked a major civil rights demonstration, and where timber, natural gas, and cattle define the local economy.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, timber and cattle exhibits, local food vendors, and the community spirit of a central Louisiana piney woods parish.
Visitor Tips
Jena sits in the longleaf pine hills of central Louisiana. Catahoula Lake — one of Louisiana most important wintering waterfowl areas — lies on the parish boundary. The Kisatchie National Forest Winn Ranger District provides recreation in the surrounding longleaf pine forest.
