This year’s theme is “Leaders and Legends,” and tour guides will offer voices from the past on the one-hour tour of St. Landry Catholic Church Cemetery in the heart of Opelousas.

General tours are not handicapped accessible but special tours will be available for the handicapped at 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 15 and 22.
