You will certainly find it all in Lafayette. “Joie de Vivre” seems to come naturally to folks here; these people sure do know how to enjoy life. For your arts fix, check out places like the Acadiana Symphony and Conservatory of Music, the Lafayette Ballet Theatre, and the Performing Arts Society of Acadiana. Nature lovers will revel in the natural spaces and places by hiking, biking, canoeing, or taking a swamp tour. Prepare to enjoy some hardcore nightlife here, people. The downtown is a hip-happening place, and you will have fun. You will. That’s an order! You’ve got dance clubs, restaurants, bars, cafes, and tons of live music venues to explore, so you really can’t complain that you have “nothing to do.” Sorry, inner-teenager. That’s not gonna fly here. If you have kiddies in your gaggle, there is plenty to keep the little buggers busy. Amongst the many things you can do is take them to the Children’s Museum of Acadiana, the Lafayette Natural History Museum and Planetarium, the Zoo of Acadiana, feed the birds at Girard Park, or, if they’ve been good, treat ‘em to a little sweet treat at Borden’s Ice Cream. There is no reason for boredom. It just can’t happen here.

Foodies Delight

The food in the city is an experience. The city was named “Best Food Town in the USA” by Rand McNally/USA Today Best of the Road Rally. This is serious, people. Move to a new awesome apartment and then prepare to eat in bliss. From crawfish, shrimp, and crab cakes to sausage gumbo, grits, and stuffed grilled cheese (can you say “heavenly”?) this place will satisfy any good foodie’s craving for delicious fare. And once you’re done stuffing your face with that delicious grub? Go dance it off. This is Lafayette. Enjoy!

Mark Your Calendar

Special events are going on all the time. The calendar is fully loaded with plenty of awesome things to do. Enjoy things like the Sunday Fais-do-do at Vermillionville, Downtown Alive!, the Annual Festival of Christmas, and the Sugar Jam. Keep an eye on the Colossus Calendar for all the details. You are suddenly extremely busy!

Explore and Enjoy

Lafayette is bursting with rich culture, an interesting history, and of course, amazing apartments. The Acadian Village is an awesome place to take a little trek back in time and see what life was like during the 19th century in Southwest Louisiana. You’ll see historic homes on the very dramatic (and mysterious) bayou. You can also explore the interior of each historic building and see antique furniture as the places are decked out to look as they might have all those years ago. You can also explore the beautiful grounds. They host private functions too like weddings and corporate events, so you may even decide to throw your next big bash here.
