Recently an entrepreneur opened the Olde Towne Hatchet House, an axe throwing place. It’s an eclectic area. We’ve also got some artists who work out of their downtown homes.” John Welborn, Chief Administrative Officer, agrees, adding how festive he finds Olde Towne. “There are block parties, or Olde Towne Crawls. There’s just a host of opportunities to get out, mingle, and have fun.” A great example is the popular Arts Evening Cultural Festival, as well as the Some Enchanted Evening with the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra event. Nearby Heritage Park hosts the free Bayou Jam Concerts and Slidell Movie Nights. But Mayor Cromer wants to do more.
