Dig into a Cajun Mardi Gras in Lafourche
(877) 537-8500, DigInLafourche.com
Lafourche Parish is offering a taste of a more local, Cajun Mardi Gras. Located approximately an hour away from New Orleans, the area offers visitors a chance to dig into “real Cajun” culture. During Carnival – Jan. 31 to Feb. 17 – there will be nearly 20 parades, including the Krewe of Des Petites Parade. While in the area, home of Jean Lafitte National Historical Park & Preserve Wetlands Acadian Cultural Center, make time to take a swamp tour, a chartered fishing trip, visit a sugar plantation or listen to some Bayou boogie.
