It's Oct 30 - Nov 1 this year. Lake Fausse Pointe State Park, (fairly) near Breaux Bridge, Louisiana.

It's always either Halloween weekend, if Halloween is on a Friday or Saturday (but not if Halloween is on Sunday), or the weekend prior to Halloween.

Actually, I'd rather not be on the same planet with the guy.

Cajun gives more precise location, above.

Glad you answered before I had to come up with more creative guesses at the acronym...and be the first to be punished for inappropriate posting. :D Does everyone wear costumes to this? Sounds cool.
