Bash on the Bayou with Ian Somerhalder

Ian Somerhalder- Honorary Chairman for Bash on the Bayou!

Before moving to the Washington, DC area I spent my high school years about 30 minutes outside of New Orleans in the town of Mandeville, La in St. Tammany Parish.

The St. Tammany Parish Humane Society will be holding its annual Bash on the Bayou on November 13th. This year's Honorary Chairman is Ian Somerhalder from the hit show The Vampire Diaries.

This upscale, Cajun themed, benefit will include live music, dancing, fully catered food, and an open bar! Restaurants like Zea Rotisserie Grill and Copeland's will be cooking great southern style food, there will be refreshing drinks from a martini fountain, and much more.


Make your best offer at the silent auction for items such as weekend getaways to hotels in New Orleans, autographed books, bedding, and much more.

Tickets will be $60 a person in advance and $75 at the door. All the proceeds will benefit the homeless animals the St. Tammany Humane Society. Click here for more information.
