⭐ This Week at a GlanceKIDS Chicken Olympics - Family Drop-In Program Wednesday, September 30 • 5:00 PM · St. Tammany Parish Library, Pearl River Branch A drop-in afternoon of poultry-themed silliness with no registration hoops to jump through, which is exactly the kind of low-stakes midweek outing a school night can absorb. |
| Food Pop-Up: Crepe du Porto Thursday, October 1 • 5:00 PM · Abita Brewery, Covington Savory and sweet crepes folded to order at the brewery, a genuinely different answer to the what-is-for-dinner problem on a Thursday. |
| Rockin' the Rails: Amanda Shaw Thursday, October 1 • 5:30 PM · Downtown Covington Amanda Shaw's fiddle has been a Louisiana fixture since she was a kid herself, and downtown Covington gives you food, dancing, and room for your own kids to run loose while she plays. |
| Community Chili Challenge Thursday, October 1 · Northshore Harbor Center Local cooks defend their roux, their heat level, and their secret spice blends while you taste your way down the line. Competitive cooking is one of the few sports where the spectators eat well. |
| Mandeville Live! Soul Revival Friday, October 2 • 6:30 PM · Mandeville Trailhead Free Friday-night soul on the lawn at the Trailhead: bring blankets and chairs, leave the outside food and ice chests at home, and buy from the vendors who keep it free. |

👨👩👧 Parents’ Cheat Sheet| 🎠 | Tue, Sep 29 • 5:30 AM · Mandeville Tuesday morning at the Children's Museum of St. Tammany. A weekly program built for toddlers and the grownup attached to them, so it runs on nap-schedule time rather than school time. |
| | 📚 | Wed, Sep 30 • 6:00 PM · STPL - Lacombe Branch · Lacombe Wednesday at the Lacombe Branch library. The second show in the Friends of the Slidell Library Fall Concert Series, and a horn-heavy New Orleans band is a painless first live-music experience for kids. |
| | 🏃 | Fri, Oct 2 • 10:00 AM · STPL - Mandeville Branch · Mandeville Friday at the Mandeville Branch library. Pizza and pasta themed crafts with no actual cooking and no food served, and it lands on a day schools are closed for the Parish Fair. |
| | ⏰ | Sun, Oct 4 • 5:00 PM · Heritage Park · Slidell Sunday at Heritage Park in Slidell. Pack chairs and let the kids run the lawn while the band plays; it is an easy way to close out a long holiday weekend outdoors. |
|
