House Resolution No. by Representative Braud designates April 23, 2025, as Plaquemines Parish Day at the state capitol. This resolution highlights the significance of Plaquemines Parish, which is home to over 23,000 residents and plays a vital role in the oil and trade industries. The parish is historically notable for being the first location in the U.S. to use containers for cargo in foreign trade and is characterized by its extensive land and water area along the last seventy miles of the Mississippi River. Additionally, it is home to Fort Jackson, a historical military site, and is recognized for its seafood and citrus industries, as well as being the largest crude oil-producing parish in Louisiana.

The resolution also acknowledges the royal court of the Plaquemines Parish Orange Festival and Seafood Festival, including the current Orange Queen, Orange King, Teen Orange Queen, and Seafood Queen. By designating this day, the House of Representatives aims to celebrate the cultural and economic contributions of Plaquemines Parish to the state of Louisiana.
