Weather held out for the 6th Annual Rajun’ Cajun Throwdown put on by Luling Main Street this past Saturday. This annual event is the main fundraiser for revitalization efforts in the Main Street District. This year’s event drew record crowds.

There were children’s activities such as face painting, bouncy houses, bungee trampolines, barrel train, Mud Bug 500 wiggle races and the new Crawfish Derby where the mud bugs squared off against each other.

This year, performing on the Main Stage were Cher-La-Bas and Gumbo Ce Soir.
