Destrahan Heritage Festival 2017
A Children's Art Table was held on April 25, 2018.
Each year we prepare for 600+ students from 8 to 10 schools to visit our tables. The children will use graphite, watercolor, and/or oil pastels to create visual interpretations of their memories of the Historic re-enactments visited at the day's events. Their art will be displayed at the festival and then the children will then take home their artwork that day.
