Every Spring & Fall!
November 1st-3rd from 9am – 5pm
With all there is to do and see at Ponchatoula’s Trade Day, it makes for a fun event for the family to attend.
Trade Days in Ponchatoula have been an ongoing event since 2006 and has continued to grow and become more popular with each passing year, but with Trade Days being such a well-known Ponchatoula event, it might be rather surprising to find that the beginning of Trade Days had a rocky start.
The first Trade Days was scheduled for November 2005; however, it would be postponed until March 2006 due to the destruction that Hurricane Katrina dealt to Louisiana in August of 2005, but not even a natural disaster as devastating as Hurricane Katrina could keep the local Ponchatoula community down for long. The community came together and with the postponed date the locals were able to organize the very first and very successful Trade Days in Ponchatoula. Since 2006 Trade Days is held the first weekend in March and November in the Ponchatoula downtown commuter parking lot and this year’s Trade Days is estimated to top 200 booths and with even more vendors, there will be twice as much fun to be had at Trade Days.
Whether a new business, church, or retail store, The Ponchatoula Chamber loves celebrating you by hosting a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony. This is a great way for the new entity to gain excellent exposure through a press release and celebrate the accomplishment the opening of their doors makes.
Also open to the public, the ribbon-cutting ceremony is a great way for the community to be informed of the business structure and how their mission will serve the community.
If you are a new business and would like to schedule your Ribbon Cutting, please contact us here.
