Starbase Louisiana events

An independent calendar for public Starbase Louisiana dates around Freshwater City, Pecan Island, and Vermilion Parish. Rocket Gumbo lists hearings, official sessions, and confirmed gatherings only when a parish, city, state, LED, or SpaceX notice publishes them. We are not affiliated with SpaceX, Vermilion Parish, or the State of Louisiana.

Upcoming

No confirmed public events are listed right now.

Public events, hearings, and confirmed gatherings will be listed here when a primary source publishes them. We do not invent dates.

A standing civic meeting is not a Starbase Louisiana information session unless a published agenda says so. We do not list watch parties, photo meetups, or expected sessions that we cannot independently confirm.

This is not a launch countdown. Construction and first-launch years, where they have been mentioned in public, are announced targets — not public events we can put on a calendar.

How we list dates

Primary sources only: parish, city, and state notices; published agendas; official SpaceX or Louisiana Economic Development statements. News coverage can point us at a notice. The notice is what we list.

Announcement coverage uses Pecan Island and Vermilion Parish. The precise site is Freshwater City. The announced footprint is about 125,000 acres of coastal marsh, as reported. Map coordinates stay on the Location page.

Already happened

On August 25, 2026, SpaceX and Louisiana officials announced Starbase Louisiana in Abbeville. That date is past. We note it so this calendar is honest about what has already occurred — not as a news recap, and not as a reason to invent the next date.

Independent, not official

Rocket Gumbo is an independent local site. This is not a parish bulletin or a SpaceX events board. Starbase Louisiana merchandise from Rocket Gumbo is coming soon. The store is not open.
