About the Event         Saturday, October 8, 2011

Join The Bayou La Batre-Coden Historical Foundation while we celebrate a treasure of our heritage, the bayou, as we       PADDLE BAYOU LA BATRE!

Experience and learn about the bayou's history as you traverse the waters. Paddle under the vertical lift bridge, one of Bayou La Batre's landmarks.  Enjoy Bayou cuisine afterwards.
