Bayou Lafourche Celebrates Mardi Gras!
Southeast Tourism Society's "TOP 20 EVENT" for the past three years...
Bayou Lafourche Area Mardi Gras has been the recipient of the Southeast Tourism Society’s “TOP 20 EVENT” for the past three years. The Mardi Gras spirit along the bayou is filled with culture and tradition. The parade routes in the different communities are lined with spectators anxiously awaiting the cherished beads and throws. Among these spectators are multi-generational families who have come out to experience and share their culture and heritage with visitors. If you’re lucky enough to be viewing the parade next to one of these families, you will have the experience of a lifetime. They will more than likely be cooking on a pit, Cajun delicacies like grillades and fresh sausage, or heating up some gumbo, or maybe frying fish. Sounds good, huh? Being a Cajun and never meeting a stranger, they will welcome you to join them and indulge in the gastronomical feast! So come on down the bayou and discover your inner Cajun. Who knows, you may even leave with the accent!
