Lakefront events across Mandeville
Mandeville puts its events on the lakefront, and Lakeshore Drive turns into a venue several times a year. A Mandeville festival order is deluxe units in clusters with handwashing stands at every food setup, placed before the barricades go up and collected on an agreed window. Getting a truck back through a closed Mandeville lakefront street afterwards is nobody's idea of a plan.
Wind off the lake matters in Mandeville. A Mandeville unit on that open ground gets strapped or ballasted, because there is nothing between Lakeshore Drive and the water to slow it down.
The Trailhead, the Trace and Mandeville gatherings
The Tammany Trace runs through Mandeville, and the Trailhead hosts markets and concerts for most of the year. A Mandeville Trailhead order goes behind the pavilion where the crowd is not waiting in line in the middle of the lawn. Private events are the other half of Mandeville work. Mandeville hosts a great many lakefront weddings, and those take the climate-controlled trailer with the Mandeville pad and power checked in advance.
Ground, drainage and the Mandeville season
Mandeville has sandy ground compared with the south shore, but the bayous still back up and a Mandeville lot near Bayou Castine holds water after a storm. We keep Mandeville units on pavement or shell and off the low ground entirely. A Mandeville yard that looks dry in April can be standing water by July.
Storm season shortens the notice. A Mandeville lakefront unit comes in ahead of a named system, because surge across Lakeshore Drive is a routine event in Mandeville rather than a rare one. Summer moves any Mandeville crew job onto a twice weekly service schedule.
