Overview of Lafayette
Lafayette sits at the center of Acadiana, the cultural and geographical heart of Cajun Louisiana. The city has a population of about 121,400 and serves as the economic hub of Lafayette Parish.

Festivals are woven into the calendar year-round. Festival International de Louisiane, held each April, is the largest free Francophone music festival in the United States and draws over 300,000 attendees across five days.
Cajun and Creole food culture is central to Lafayette's identity. Restaurants like Don's Specialty Meats, Johnson's Boucaniere, and Prejean's serve regional dishes including boudin, cracklins, and crawfish etouffee.
