Visit Houma, Louisiana and experience “Cajunicity” – the joie de vivre, or love for life that’s ingrained into every aspect of our culture, community, history and heritage. You’ll see it reflected in our distinctive Cajun architecture and art and learn about its extraordinary 300 year history at our engaging museums and historical sites. You’ll encounter it at boisterous festivals, fetes, fais do dos and celebrate it at our two-week Mardi Gras celebration. You’ll also hear it in our colorful Cajun language and lively music and taste its rich and uncommon flavors in our world-famous cooking.

Cajunicity is that wonderful uniqueness that defines us as a whole – a people, a culture, a community. It originates from our unbridled love of life, music, food and camaraderie and creates a truly uncommon, distinctive and definitely one-of-a-kind culture found nowhere else

on earth except here, surrounded by the rich, coffee-colored bayous of Houma, Louisiana.
