A Letter from you Editor

Editor's note- April 17

By Courtney J., Macaroni Kid Publisher April 17, 2025

Welcome Macaroni KID parents!

We are finally seeing beautiful Spring weather these last couple of weeks and we are loving every minute of it! With that being said, our Macaroni KID Events Calendar is rapidly growing as we continue adding local events so you may want to bookmark this page and check back often. As a reminder, you can also submit events to be added to our calendar by clicking on the Submit an Event button. Some guidelines do apply:

  • Events that are within our territory: Acadia or St. Landry parishes
  • Events that are family-friendly
  • Free or low-entry fee 

Some events may be subject to approval if there is an admission fee or entry rate to participate. 

We are currently accepting submissions for summer camps, VBS, and other summer programs to include in our Summer Camp Guide! If you are hosting a summer camp or your church will be hosting VBS you may fill out the form here (Free listings for summer programs that are offered free of charge for families)


Macaroni KID Acadia-St. Landry in the Community

We had the privilege of being a vendor at this year's Opelousas Love Fest and it was a great success! Thanks to our sponsors we were able to provide Easter buckets for the kids who came by to visit our booth and duck toss game for the little ones to enjoy. 

We loved meeting with fellow vendors in our community and learning about new opportunities and community resources that are available to local families. We are looking forward to sharing new resources that serve to help local families. 

Stay tuned to find out what we're up to in our community!
