Lafayette is a destination that’s worth a visit any time of year. Come during the early spring when crawfish are at their peak. Roll up your sleeves and peel your own, eat it with a fork in an etouffee or the many variations at one of our many restaurants or the Breaux Bridge Crawfish Festival. No trip is complete without boudin and po’boys. Be sure to stop at one of the legendary spots on our Cajun Boudin Trail and attend the annual Po’Boy Festival to sample various styles. Burn off some calories at a lively dance hall, or participate in the Vermilion Voyage, a three-day, 50-mile, overnight paddling excursion. Spring is also an ideal time to spend a day in Downtown Lafayette, where you’ll find attractions, restaurants, and nightlife. Every April, Downtown hosts Festival International, bringing more than 500 musicians from 15 countries to the stage. Need even more inspiration to visit Lafayette during the springtime?
