Did you know that on October 17, 1959, Senator John F. Kennedy and his wife Jackie made a stop in Crowley while on his Presidential campaign? They even rode in the 23rd annual Rice Festival parade!
Louisiana's oldest agricultural celebration, The International Rice Festival, is this weekend in Crowley. Multi-platinum recording artist Joe Diffie will round out the entertainment line-up with a performance on the main stage Saturday night. The best part? It's a free festival!
