Who could resist a sunset over Lake Pontchartrain?
Not supporters of Jefferson Beautification on Sept. 27, when the organization held Sunset on the Bucktown Boardwalk presented by Entergy, proving nature — and music — were alluring attractions.
Bucktown Harbor Park and Marina was the site for this festival-like event that showcased music from the Top Cats as well as served up morsels from Cayenne Seafood, Couzan’s BBQ and Ground Pat’i food trucks. Guest could roam the grounds with sights such as the famed boardwalk and Bird’s Nest pavilion, as well as check out future offerings, such as the kayak launch and the living shoreline, which will help boost the fish population.
“Jefferson Beautification is excited to be a part of this development and newest attraction in Jefferson Parish,” said Joy Shane, CEO of the organization. “We look forward each year to attracting residents for a night of food and entertainment in such a beautiful setting.”
Jefferson Beautification was formed in 1990 to provide funding for tree planting and beautification projects for green spaces in Jefferson Parish, as well as promote these projects through public awareness.
Event co-chairs were Valerie Cicero and Sue Stein.
Fun Fact: The funds raised from the event will be used for the design and construction of the Bucktown Community Garden.
