Triangle Club

Status: Closed

Parish: Evangeline

Location: Frilot Cove

713 Frilot Cove Road

Virgie Mayon: “I had to wait for my youngest sister to be old enough (at 9 years old) before I could go to the Triangle Club. We got there and as soon as I got asked to dance- Iwas so excited that I’d run out onto the floor.”

Included in Emily Ardoin’s 2014 thesis “Fais do-do to ‘Hippy Ti-Yo’: Dance Halls of South Louisiana”: This hall featured zydeco and is currently used to store hay bales. The building is in fair condition, features a metal roof, and the exterior appears to be unaltered.”

Listed in “Readers recall clubs where they danced to Louisiana Music” from The Daily Advertiser, December 29, 1998.

  1. This place was an integral part of my life. I grew up in Prarie Rhonde and went to elementary school mere yards from the Triangle. I couldn’t wait to “go out” as it was called then, when I could tag along with my older brothers and my sister. Live music with bands like Clinton Broussard’s and Sky enveloped the room from the wooden ceiling to the wooden floor. I have nothing but fond memories of my experiences there.
