Louisiana Holidays

Whether you’re seeking outdoor adventure surrounded by stunning natural landscape or party time in vibrant cities, Louisiana holidays are full of fun and excitement.

If you’re after a wild and frenetic city full of culture, head to New Orleans during Mardi Gras for the ultimate street party, where you’re bound to have the time of your life. It isn’t just about nature and parties in Louisiana, though. There’s plenty of history to discover in the state too. History buffs will find a visit to one of Louisiana’s many ancient plantations, such as the Frogmore Cotton Plantation, fascinating. 

The mesmerising village museum of Vermilionville is another place we recommend you visit. You can learn about the history, culture and traditions of the Native Americans, Acadians and Creoles of the Attakapas area during the 1700s to 1800s.  

Discover wildlife on Louisiana holidays

Home to rugged wilderness, the long-snaking Mississippi River, and tons of Bayous swamps and rivers, Louisiana state holidays offer plenty of opportunities to discover the wildlife of the region.

If you dare to seek out American alligators and American crocodiles, head to one of Louisiana’s eerie and marshy swamplands on a boat tour. Yu cansearch for the beasts that hide among the gloomy waters. Or, drive along the scenic Creole Nature Trail, which is affectionately known as ‘Louisiana’s outback’. The region is home to wild and rugged terrain where you can keep an eye out for more roaming American alligators and over 400 species of birds. There are also plenty of green parks and gardens where can lounge and soak up the fresh air – without the worry of wandering alligators.
