LA64 is coming to Vermilion Parish

Louisiana Public Broadcasting (LPB) and the City of Abbeville invite the public to a free advance screening of the LA64 episode featuring Vermilion Parish on Friday, Jan. 30, at 6 p.m. at the Vermilion Parish Library – Abbeville Branch.
The event marks the first public screening of LA64 and the official kickoff of LPB’s new travel series. The full 30-minute Vermilion Parish episode will be shown ahead of the series’ broadcast premiere on Monday, Feb. 2, at 8 p.m. on LPB.
LA64 is a weekly travel series that explores one Louisiana parish per episode. Across its planned five-year run, the series will uncover the culture, customs, cuisine, festivals, folklore, and hidden attractions that define Louisiana’s identity, ultimately visiting all 64 parishes.
The series premieres with Vermilion Parish. “LA64 is about discovery and exploring Louisiana beyond the guidebooks,” said series host Karen LeBlanc. “Every parish has a great story, and Vermilion Parish is a great place for LPB to begin.”
Following the screening, LeBlanc will take part in a brief Q&A with LPB Executive Producer Linda Midgett. The event is free and open to the public, but seating is limited.
