Louisiana’s diversity can be found in various aspects such as the people, the food, and even the geography. Blend that with cultural influences from the French, Spanish, as well as Native American and African, and you get a state with some of the best experiences when it comes to food, music, and festivals. The New Orleans version of Mardi Gras is even famous around the world for its lively street parades and parties. While not partying, you can visit attractions such as Preservation Hall, one of the bastions of jazz music in America. Outside of New Orleans, you can check out Lafayette’s Blackpot Festival & Cook-Off, or Baton Rouge’s Capitol Park Museum.
So come on down to the Pelican State and have a memorable vacation. To make it more novel, check out these best ranches to stay in Louisiana, USA.
