Lafayette is a destination that’s worth a visit any time of year. Come during the winter (December - February), and you’ll be treated to mild temperatures barely falling into the 30s and 40s. Plan your stay around the holidays to see Lafayette transform into a winter wonderland for Cajun & Creole Christmas. Did you resolve to try something new this year? Only in Lafayette can you find a rodeo, film festival, concert series, and a Mardi Gras parade in the wintertime. On the colder days, stay warm with a bowl of gumbo and other Cajun comfort foods like the hefty plate lunch or unique sweets like king cake. If peace and quiet are more your speed, our fairytale gardens, cozy inns, and fine dining restaurants are ideal for a relaxing getaway.
