La Grand Boucherie
Magnolia Park - Magnolia Park, LA
Before the days of refrigerators, crafty Cajuns would come together in the peak of winter to butcher hogs. It was a community-wide celebration, called a boucherie, that provided meat to the families to eat during the colder months. Today, this tradition is kept alive with a community boucherie in St. Martinville the Saturday before Mardi Gras. In addition to the butchering of the hog, the all-day party includes a squeal-like-a-pig contest, live music and more. http://cajuncountry.org/boucherie/
