No matter how you define culture, you'll find lots of it in Lafayette! You'll meet friendly people eager to share our distinct brand of fun at dozens of family-oriented festivals like Mardi Gras, Festival International de Louisiane, Festivals Acadiens, and A Cajun and Creole Christmas. Downtown Alive! held every Friday evening in the spring and fall and the many dance halls that dot the landscape assure that there is always plenty of fun to go around. Top that off with endless helpings of incredible local cuisine - crawfish étouffée, jambalaya, and gumbo, just to name a few, and you will agree that this unique cultural brew is a mystery waiting to be revealed.
From Cajun and Creole heritage, swamp tours of the Atchafalaya Basin, authentic folklife attractions like Acadian Village and Vermilionville to historic antebellum plantations and museums offering worldly art exhibitions, you'll enjoy a cultural experience like no other. Ours is a heritage that embraces life as a celebration. We call it joie de vivre. You'll call it the most fun you’ve ever had.
