TANGIPAHOA PARISH
Discover the hidden treasures and educational
opportunities available in beautiful Tangipahoa
Parish, Louisiana! Pronounced, TAN-ji-pah-HO-uh,
this Northshore oasis is located 45 minutes north of
New Orleans and 30 minutes east of Baton Rouge.
Situated at the intersection of Interstates 55 and 12,
the Hammond area is the perfect hub to experience
the “gumbo” that is Louisiana.
Get your hands dirty while learning about the farming
industry at Liuzza Land. Turn back the hands of time
at the Louisiana Renaissance Festival. Take a walk on
the wild side at Global Wildlife Center. Study
Louisiana’s delicate eco-system at Turtle Cove
Environmental Research Station. Wet your whistle
on the Tangipahoa Brewery Trail. Get up close and
personal with monster-sized alligators at Kliebert’s.
Seek out spirits at the Rise Haunted House. Or spend
a day leisurely strolling down the sidewalks of
America’s Antique City. Plan your trip accordingly to
enjoy festival fun at the Oyster, Sicilian Heritage,
Strawberry, or Italian Festivals.
Whether your groups are looking for family fun, girl-
friend getaways, outdoor adventures, or cultural
experiences, we’re cooking up something for you!
Tangipahoa Parish is as diverse as its people. Let us
show you why sometimes off the beaten path is often
where the greatest adventures begin!
