As the leaves begin to turn and cool breezes sweep through the trees, fall in Vernon Parish is a time of community connection, local celebration, and a little early holiday magic. From music and markets to dazzling light displays, November invites you to slow down and savor the season in Louisiana’s Legend Country.
Start your month with Second Saturday at the Third Street Market on November 8th in downtown Leesville. From 8am to 1pm, the market bustles with local produce, handmade goods, and unique crafts. Second Saturdays bring extra fun for families, making it a great way to spend a morning exploring the charm of local makers and vendors.
Just a few days later, Fall Back Friday takes the stage at the Polk Outdoor Stage on November 14th. From 6pm to 10pm, enjoy a throwback evening of classic tunes to help ease the transition from Daylight Savings Time. It’s a relaxed, music-filled Friday night under the stars—perfect for embracing the longer evenings with good company and great music.
Then, kick off the Christmas season starting Black Friday, November 28th, with Christmas on the Ranch—quickly becoming an area tradition—through December 24th. This drive-thru light show features over half a million lights, including a musical light show set to your favorite Christmas classics. Located on Hwy 117, it’s a holiday experience for the whole family that promises joy, wonder, and plenty of photo ops.
Whether you’re browsing the market, dancing under the lights, or soaking up the glow of holiday cheer, Vernon Parish is the place to be this fall. Discover why fall in Louisiana’s Legend Country is truly something special. Plan your trip today at VernonParish.org/Stay!
