It’s time to add a NEW festival to Louisiana’s ever-growing list: The Experience Louisiana Festival!
The new festival has been in the works for over a year. It was inspired by two former events–the Louisiana Folklife Festival and the Tri-Parish Fair–both of which evoked a sense of community in those who attended the events.
That sense of community is precisely what the Experience Louisiana will be all about. In fact, the festival planning committee envisions the event as a “cultural networking” opportunity. The Experience Louisiana Festival will be a gathering of people and cultures from all across Louisiana, a celebration of our state’s vast diversity as well as our similarities.
This event is all about experiencing Louisiana like you never have before. Patrons can look forward to a dynamic and interactive experience, featuring the main elements of Louisiana culture: food, music, art, history, and lifestyle.
One of the most interesting features of the Experience Louisiana is “Walk-Through Louisiana”, an area dedicated to a variety of entities and organizations to showcase their events, histories, opportunities, and attractions. Festival goers will feel as though they were actually walking through Louisiana, meeting new people from across the state and learning a variety of new things about their home state.
Aside from the educational aspect, there is plenty of fun to be had at the Experience Louisiana Festival. Dance the night away to Louisiana’s most celebrated musicians. View and purchase original artwork by native artists of all mediums. Eat your weight in authentic, unparalleled southern soul food. Take part in the classic car show. Attend the LSUE Bengal Tigers exhibition baseball game. All this and so much more is available to you at the Experience Louisiana Festival!
The very first annual Experience Louisiana Festival will be held next weekend, Saturday, October 17 and Sunday, October 18 at the LSU Eunice campus.
