October 7th-11th; Lafayette, Louisianna

Head way down south to catch this one-of-a-kind celebration of the diverse cultures of Louisiana. Starting October 7th, dive into the Cajun lifestyle by sampling delicacies like barbeque boudin, wild game jambalaya, and catfish courtbouillon. Peruse the Louisiana Craft Fair and pick up a few regional works to remember your weekend in the bayou! And whatever you do, don’t forget to sit, relax, and listen to a few Cajun and Zydeco tunes.
