Southwest Louisiana is Cajun Fun Country! There are over 75 festivals and special events celebrated every year. The Cajun Music Fest, Contraband Days, Mardi Gras, Black Heritage Festival, Louisiana National Air Show, and the Sulphur Mines Festival are only some of the area's festivals.
The area is home to at least four museums, which houses several items and artifacts depicting the history of Southwest Louisiana. The historic "Charpentier District" can be found in Lake Charles, the hub city of the region. The district is nearly 20 blocks of unique Victorian-era homes, each with characteristics reflecting the individual style of the area carpenters who built them.
Visitors and area residents can also try their luck aboard one of Lake Charles' four floating casinos, as well as the land based casino in Kinder, Louisiana. For more information on recreational and cultural attractions in Southwest Louisiana contact the:
