Fair Highlights
Typical offerings include livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, sugar cane exhibits, local seafood and Cajun food vendors, and a fair drawing from the Franklin community and the bayou parishes.
A Closer Look
The St. Mary Parish Fair, based in Franklin, celebrates a bayou country parish where the Atchafalaya Basin meets the Gulf of Mexico sugar cane coast, and where the Chitimacha Tribe of Louisiana maintains their reservation in Charenton — the only tribe federally recognized in Louisiana with land in the state.
Planning Your Visit
The Chitimacha Tribe of Louisiana Charenton reservation is the only tribe with land in the state. Bayou Teche runs through Franklin providing the distinctive cypress bayou landscape of south Louisiana. The Atchafalaya Basin approach through Charenton reveals the world largest river swamp.
