5 Tips to Planning Your Perfect Reunion
on Louisiana's Northshore
1. Find a desirable reunion destination easy for your family to get to. 
St. Tammany Parish, a.k.a. Louisiana’s
Northshore, is less than an hour from New Orleans,
Mississippi Gulf Coast casinos and Baton Rouge.
The Northshore offers two state parks with pavilions
and waterfronts, and one has a sandy beach!
2. Contact the St. Tammany Parish Tourist Commission to get started.
All of our resources are free! We’ll answer
questions, make recommendations, solicit bids from
restaurants, attractions and venues, and give you
a planning checklist to stay organized while you
pick the perfect places for your group. We can even host
a welcome address onsite and provide welcome bags.
3. Find overnight accommodations in your family’s budget.
The Northshore offers more than 3,000 rooms
including campsites, cabins, familiar chains--even a boutique hotel.
Ask us which hotels offer a comp policy; we’ll even help with room blocks.
4. Poll family members: what kind of activities are they interested in?
Group canoeing on Cane Bayou or kayaking the Bogue Falaya?
An ecotour of Honey Island Swamp to see alligators
in the wild? Holding a baby gator at Insta-Gator Ranch?
Feeding giraffes at Global Wildlife? You have loads of one-of-a-kind
activities to choose from in St. Tammany.
5. Book your reunion during one of our family-friendly festivals.
There are many festivals celebrating the Northshore’s culture,
and some are even free! Scroll through our event calendar
and discover our celebrations of food, music and the joy of
making memories with family and friends.
