The 71st Annual Turkey Bowl has been moved to Sunday.
The Lafayette Park, Arts, Recreation, and Culture Department’s youth football teams were scheduled to compete in the event on Saturday, but because of predicted weather it has been moved to 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. on Sunday, November. 20.
The event has in recent years been held at Clark Field but this year has returned to Cajun Field.
“The Turkey Bowl has been a tradition in our community for more than 70 years, and playing on the Ragin’ Cajuns Field will be thrilling for the kids and families. Not to mention, for the first time, Acadiana Open Channel will record all tackle games and select flag games to be aired at a later date,” said PARC Athletic Programs Director Walter Guillory.
Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for kids. Food and drinks will be available to purchase.
