Community Events

"Pack the Pantry" in Zachary is a community food drive to benefit the Zachary Food Pantry, running from November 3-20, 2025, with  donations collected at local schools.  You can help by donating non-perishable food items, such as canned goods, at your local Zachary School.  The event is a way to stock the food pantry for families in need, especially with Thanksgiving approaching.

The Zachary Community Farmer’s Market is an open-air market, comprised of a group of area farmers selling fresh produce each Saturday in Downtown Zachary behind Zachary City Hall at the HugYourPeople Park at Lee Street @ Virginia Street, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Over 60 local vendors including craftspeople make a visit to the market on Saturdays to sell handmade crafts,  showcasing local artists and craftsmanship and fresh produce. On the second Saturday of each month, the Zachary Cars and Coffee Club offer an open car show displaying vintage cars, trucks, and motorcycles. If you are interested in showing your classic car, this group encourages you to come out and showcase.

The Regional Veterans Park and the City of Zachary invite you to join us for the second annual Veterans Parade on Monday, November 11 at 9:00 a.m.

The parade will begin right after the Flag Raising Ceremony at the Regional Veterans Park and travel from the Bank of Zachary down Main Street to Zachary High School.
