Madisonville is a small town located just west of Mandeville and rests on the banks of both Lake Pontchartrain and The Tchefuncte River. Madisonville's rich history and excellent quality of life make it a great place to visit as well as to live! Each year one of Louisiana's largest events, The Wooden Boat Festival, features hand crafted wooden boats and draws thousands of visitors who enjoy the festivities along the river. There are also two other annual boating events held on the banks of the Tchefuncte River, The Crew of Lights and The Mardi Gras Boat Parade. The Crew of Lights is a popular New Year's Eve Parade that lures families and friends to gather along the riverfront to watch this lighted boat parade and welcome in the New Year. An impressive display of fireworks adds spark to this annual celebration. Madisonville is home to the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Maritime Museum, Fairview State Park, and other points of interest. The Madisonville School District consists of highly rated schools such as Madisonville Elementary School, Madisonville Junior High School, and Mandeville High School.
