Lafayette Convention & Visitors Commission

Welcome to Lafayette - the heart of Cajun Country and the cultural center of Louisiana's heritage. Here you'll discover the rich history of our French, Spanish and Caribbean ancestors. Learn how these diverse cultures came together, creating art and architecture, music and dance, food and celebrations and a "Joie de Vivre" that has influenced not only the lives of everyone in our state, but has made an impact on the entire world. If you're planning a trip our city, we're here to help with resources and information on everything from accommodations and restaurants to events and attractions. There's something for everyone, so prepare to be enlightened, educated and most of all entertained.
