There are many ways to socialize over Spring Break, with the many festivals and events in the region, including several options at the Chickasaw Cultural Center in Sulphur.
Spring break is typically just ahead of the spring equinox, so celebrate at the Chickasaw Cultural Center with The Three Sisters Celebration. This event recognizes the changing of the seasons by planting essential crops like corn, beans and squash. The combination of these crops is known as the "three sisters," which have provided the Chickasaw people with long-term soil fertility and healthy sustenance for generations.
