FIESTA de Los Islenos
--A Success!

Los Isleños Heritage & Cultural society celebrated its 37th annual festival on March 16 and 17, 2013 on the grounds of the Isleño Museum Complex, 1345-1357 Bayou Road in St. Bernard Village.  The historic Isleño Village, situated in the rear of the Isleño Museum was once more the setting for a series of living history demonstrations featuring folk crafts, historic vernacular life styles and the cultural identity of the Isleño descendant’s community in St. Bernard Parish.  Representatives of the Houma Nation figured prominently into Fiesta ’13, interpreting the history, culture and folk traditions of the Houma Tribe.
