Mayhaw jelly, Mayhaw butter, Mayhaw berries…it must be time for the Starks Mayhaw Festival! This tart little berry has been celebrated throughout the South, but especially in Starks. Try your hand at jelly-making and catch a glimpse of the Mayhaw Queen and her court. This family-friendly festival has carnival rides for the kids…and kids at heart…and live music for those dancin' fools! There will be plenty of Mayhaw berries and jelly to go around, and of course, some delicious Southwest Louisiana fare as well.

The festival will be held at the corner of Highways 109 and 12 in Starks, Thurs. and Fri. from 4-10 p.m., and Sat. 8:30 a.m. - 10 p.m. Get there early on Saturday morning for hot biscuits, homemade mayhaw jelly and fresh-churned butter. Admission is free. For more information, call (337) 745-6297.
