This closure is necessary to allow for the newly seeded grass on the freshly completed bank work to take root.
 
Adequate grass coverage will help stabilize the bank and ensure the longevity of the park.
 
We apologize for the inconvenience, but ask for your patience and cooperation during this closure. Rest assured, we are working diligently to complete the necessary tasks to reopen the park as soon as possible.
We understand the excitement and anticipation of the brand-new fishing pier and enhanced accessibility features for those with mobility challenges.
 
Stay tuned for further updates on the progress and reopening of Lafitte Park, including details about the upcoming ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the completion. We look forward to sharing the newly improved park with you very soon!

Ravin St Julien, along with the talented Abbeville High School Dance Team, is offering an extraordinary opportunity for the youth of our community - a FREE Summer Dance Camp! The camp has reached its limit of campers with 65 girls signed up.

With over 15 years of experience in the art of dance, Ravin is no stranger to the rhythm of the dance floor. Now, she's bringing her expertise back home to Vermilion Parish, igniting the passion for dance among the youth and fostering a love for movement, aiming to bring life back to the community as she sees the need.

Ravin believes that every child deserves the chance to experience the joy of dance. To ensure that campers have everything they need for an unforgettable summer, they are offering sponsorship opportunities and accepting donations. Sponsorship would help provide every camper a T-shirt. There are different ways to sponsor, so be sure to reach out if you can help. Your support can make a world of difference in enriching the lives of young dancers in our community.

This isn't just your average dance camp; it's an unforgettable journey filled with energy, excitement, and learning experiences. On the final night, campers will have a show-off performance. There will be a door fee; however, the money raised at the door will be given back to Abbeville High's dance team.

Don't miss this incredible opportunity to be a part of something special. Let's dance our way into an unforgettable summer together!
