In Louisiana, spring means one thing: festival season! Whether you’re sampling shellfish at the Amite Oyster Festival or dancing your way through Jazz Fest, you’ll find plenty of ways to fill your weekends this season.
Take time to stop and smell the flowers — our gorgeous native azaleas that fill the air with their sweet, slightly spicy aroma. Here are a few of our favorite places to spot these pink and purple blossoms.
Gone fishing recently? Turn your catch into lightly fried trout topped with toasted pecan butter and smooth, savory meunière sauce. It's perfect for Fridays in Lent!
Head to North Louisiana for a springtime getaway in Monroe and West Monroe. Hike peaceful nature trails, sip locally made wines and browse eclectic antiques shops in these tranquil towns.
Warm weather brings vibrant celebrations in Lafayette! From the colorful Azalea Trail and Zydeco Marathon to Festival International de Louisiane and the Breaux Bridge Crawfish Festival, spring here is packed with culture, food, music and fun.
