Ponchatoula lies along Louisiana’s Gulf Coastal Plain, where low, wooded terrain north of Lake Pontchartrain gives the town a distinctly southeastern Louisiana setting. Known as the Strawberry Capital of the World, Ponchatoula remains closely associated with the farms that have made strawberry growing a local tradition. The Louisiana Strawberry Festival, held each spring, brings that identity into the center of town with food, music and community events. Its compact downtown, shaped by the railroad era, is also known for antique stores and independent businesses.
