Welcome To Lafayette, LA

Get a Taste of Cajun Culture in Historic Lafayette, LA

The city lies in the south-central region of the state and is bisected by the Vermillion River. The scenic, forested area is also considered the heart of the country's Cajun and Creole cultures. Founded in 1765, the community's rich history boasts both a Native American and an Acadian heritage. Some of the many attractions found throughout Lafayette include the Acadian Village, the Alexandre Mouton House Museum, Cite des Arts, the Katog Choling Tibetan Cultural Center and Vermilionville.

Things To Do

Lafayette is known for hosting one of the largest Mardi Gras festivals in the country. The Cajun & Creole Carnival kicks off during the first week in January and festivities span an entire month. Daily parades, a carnival, live music, food and games are but some of the activities that all enjoy.

Residents boasting Cajun and Creole descent welcome all to celebrate their heritage during the annual Festivals Acadiens et Creoles in October. The gala five-day event features a long line-up of Cajun performers who entertain audiences with traditional music and dance. There is also plenty of ethnic foods and handmade crafts.

Toward the end of October, local and regional chefs demonstrate their cooking skills while celebrating their Cajun heritage during the yearly South Louisiana Blackpot Festival & Cookoff. Event guests have the chance to sample a wide variety of local foods that include everything from Gumbo and Jambalaya to desserts.

Movie fans have the chance to view up and coming films during the November Southern Screen Festival. The four-day event features a variety of locally produced and international films along with parties, interactive workshops and red carpet events.
