JEFFERSON PARISH CVB

Nestled next to our famous neighbor New Orleans,

Jefferson Parish Louisiana is a diverse community

sprawling the southern shore of Lake Pontchartrain
and ending sixty miles south with beaches along the

Gulf of Mexico. Jefferson offers a variety of experiences

from the serenity of a nature walk, to a vibrant night life.

Groups enjoy value-priced accommodations, many

offering complimentary parking and breakfast. Visit

historic districts steeped in history and culture, visiting
historic homes and museums, and strolling scenic

parkways. Jefferson has three historic districts each

with a unique perspective on the culture and heritage

of the parish, from fishing communities, German and

Italian settlers to the intricate role of the rail road.

Those seeking adventure can immerse themselves in

the great outdoors where the thrill of an airboat ride

or hiking the nature trails of the Barataria Preserve

await. Foodies will delight in the eateries along the
Louisiana Oyster Trail featuring over 20 restaurants

serving fresh oysters in a variety of ways! Each boasts

a 3ft. hand-painted themed sculpture.

We invite you to experience Jefferson Parish. Rich in

culture, diverse in its people and steeped in tradition,

Jefferson Parish is waiting to be explored.
