A Culture of Celebration

In Louisiana, we don't need much of an excuse to throw a party

Breaux Bridge knows how to celebrate. Throughout the year, the town comes alive with festivals big and small, each one an opportunity to gather with family and friends, enjoy great food and music, and celebrate the unique culture of Cajun Louisiana.

From the internationally recognized Crawfish Festival that draws over 100,000 visitors each May, to intimate community gatherings, there's always something to celebrate in the Crawfish Capital of the World.
