THE GUMBO
FESTIVAL
*2024 FESTIVAL UPDATE*
​It is with a heavy heart that we share that the 2024 Gumbo Festival in Bridge City, LA will not take place this year. A decision was made by the Archdiocese of New Orleans to close Holy Guardian Angles Church and merge our community with Our Lady of Prompt Succor in Westwego, LA.
We will take the 2024 festival season off as we explore and discuss our future. It is our hope that we will be back bigger and stronger in 2025. So please follow us on our website, Facebook and Instagram to get the latest updates.
​
We thank everyone for the best 50 years and we pray there will be many more years to come.
