LAFAYETTE

Lafayette is at the heart of Louisiana’s Cajun & Creole country, where
culture, cuisine, and music blend into a one-of-a-kind experience.
Known as the “Happiest City in America,” Lafayette offers a lively mix
of traditions shaped by French, African, Spanish, and Native American
influences. Visitors can dance to the rhythms of Cajun and zydeco
music at local dancehalls, savor authentic dishes like gumbo, boudin,
and crawfish étouffée, and explore the beauty of the Atchafalaya
Basin, America’s largest river swamp. Festivals fill the calendar year-
round, celebrating everything from music and food to art and heritage,
while museums and historic villages bring Louisiana’s story to life. With
a thriving arts scene, free live music, and Southern hospitality at every turn, Lafayette is more than a destination, it’s an invitation to
immerse yourself in a community that lives and breathes its culture. Discover more at LafayetteTravel.com.
