Reasons You Need to Attend Springhill Lumberjack Festival

In 1896, the Bodcaw Lumber Company opened up its sawmill operation with approximately fifty employees. Bodcaw also built twenty five homes for its sawmill workers in the area just west of the mill still referred to as "Sawmill Town."

With the town's roots firmly planted in the timber industry of North Louisiana, it's only fitting to recognize those humble beginnings, and since 1984, that's exactly what Springhill has done with the annual Springhill Lumberjack Festival.

This year's festival, which will take place on Saturday, October 14, is expected to be one of the biggest ever!

Just look at the incredible reasons why you certainly don't want to miss out on this one!

Lots Of Live Music

According to the Springhill Lumberjack Festival website, this year's event will feature loads of live music including the sounds of Michael Doucet and Ghostfire Worship

Lumberjack Festival Car Show

Beginning with an optional parade at 11:00 am, the car and bike show will run from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm.  Registration will start at 9:00 am and entry fee for participants is only $20.
