Live Like a Local launches tomorrow in conjunction with Pop & Shop! Live Like a Local will allow participants to experience West Feliciana Parish as a local would.

The campaign is from August 24 to September 21. Participants can pick up a “passport” at the West Feliciana Historical Society Museum starting at 2 pm tomorrow, August 24, and at any other time during the campaign. To receive stamps, you must go to any of the businesses or attractions in the passport and support that business through a purchase (if it’s a free attraction, a selfie at the attraction will suffice). A full list of participating businesses can be found by clicking the link below:

Visit St. Francisville is excited to announce the “Live Like a Local” campaign, set to take place from August 24th to September 21st, 2024. This month-long initiative invites visitors and locals to immerse themselves in the vibrant culture, rich history, and unique charm of St. Francisville, Louisiana.

The Live Like a Local Campaign will kick-off at the annual Pop & Shop event on August 24th. Pop & Shop is a great way to get a jump start on the campaign. Participants will receive a “Live Like a Local Passport” which will allow them to gain stamps at local businesses and attractions for a chance to be entered in to a drawing for door prizes at the end of the campaign. To be entered into the drawing, participants need to receive at least ten (10) stamps during the campaign. Passports can be picked up at the Visit St. Francisville booth at Pop & Shop on August 24th or at the West Feliciana Historical Society Museum between August 24th and September 21st. There are 64 participating attractions and businesses, which allows for many ways for visitors to “Live Like a Local!”
