A yearly commemoration of the landing of Canadian hero and explorer, Pierre Le Moyne Sieur d'Iberville and four coureurs des bois in two canoes on Goose Point near the mouth of Bayou Lacombe, March 28, 1699. People gather to hear the history of the event, the area, and the French colonization of the northshore. Champagne toasts are raised to the founder of La Louisianne and to King Louis XIV, King of France. This year's commemoration will be at Bayou Adventure Kayak and Bike Rental and Bait Shop on the corner of Lake Rd. and Main St. in Lacombe: The Gateway to the Big Branch Marsh National Wildlife Refuge and Lake Pontchartrain as it was.
