Things to do in Plaquemines Parish this Spring near River Oaks RV Park
When the winter chill fades and the Louisiana landscape turns a vibrant green, Plaquemines Parish truly comes alive. For the workers at the Venture Global LNG Plant seeking a well-earned break and local residents alike, spring is the season of high-energy festivals, overflowing seafood platters, and the return of world-class sportfishing. If you’re staying at River Oaks RV Park, you aren’t just visiting the area—you are perfectly positioned at the gateway to the Gulf to catch all the action. Here is what’s happening right in your backyard for Spring 2026
April 16, 2025The Plaquemines Parish Seafood & Heritage Festival
Located in nearby Belle Chasse, this is the parish’s signature event. Expect three days of live local music, carnival rides for the kids, and a 5K race to kick things off. Don’t miss the legendary Croatian-style chargrilled oysters, a local specialty that pays homage to the region's rich heritage.
Fresh Boils and Community Traditions
Spring in Port Sulphur is synonymous with the smell of spicy crawfish boils. March through May is peak time. Whether you’re grabbing a sack from the local grocery store next door to River Oaks to boil at your site or attending the Plaquemines Parish Social Aid & Pleasure Club Crawfish Boil (tentatively April 11, 2026), the mudbugs are at their best. Keep an eye out for the annual Croatian Fest in late March, where you can experience the unique cultural music and food that helped build the local oyster industry.
World-Class Sportfishing Kickoff
As the waters warm, the "Sportsman's Paradise" lived up to its name. Venice and Port Sulphur become the epicenter for anglers across the country. May marks the start of major offshore action, including the Hurricane Hole Invitational (May 6–9) and the prestigious Cajun Canyons Billfish Classic (May 26–31). With the park located just miles from the best launches in the marsh, you can spend the day chasing redfish and trout and be back at your quiet, full-hookup site in time for a sunset dinner.
