Lafayette — Let our culture move you.

Lafayette is unique for its kaleidoscope of Cajun and Creole heritage and cultural influences. Call it Cajun Country or Acadiana, Lafayette is world-renowned for a rich cultural tapestry reflected in a lively blend of Cajun, zydeco, and blues music performed across festivals and dance halls. Beyond the music, Lafayette’s cuisine is a celebrated fusion of French, African, and Spanish influences, peppered, passed and praised in dishes like gumbo, jambalaya, and boudin.

Lafayette’s strategic location as a transportation hub enhances its economic vitality, making it a dynamic city that balances its cultural richness with economic adaptability. While Lafayette has historically depended on the oil and gas industry, the city has successfully expanded its robust economic base to include healthcare, education, and technology growth sectors. Central to sustainable growth is the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, which fosters innovation and research and has become key to business growth in the region.
