The Christmas Village In Louisiana That Becomes Even More Magical Year After Year
LARC’s Acadian Village authentically depicts a typical Cajun village lifestyle in the 19th century. In the 70s, 23 acres of land were cleared to build this amazing little village. Of the 11 buildings in the village, seven are authentic homes from the 19th century that were donated by families whose ancestors once lived in them. Each December, Acadian Village transforms into an amazing display full of Christmas lights, animated displays, carnival rides, and live entertainment. This event gets better and better every year, and you should make plans to go check it out! Here’s more on why you won’t want to miss this magical town celebrating Christmas in Louisiana.
Every year, the Acadian Village closes down for the month of November to transform into Noel Acadien Au Village, a magical winter wonderland.
For 23 days in December, you can stroll through this amazing spectacle and enjoy all of the twinkling lights illuminating each of the houses and walkways.
Half a million lights, animated displays, and holiday decorations are perfectly placed and will certainly put you in the holiday spirit.
You can purchase tickets for the rides separately once you’re there. Each ride takes three or more coupons, and coupons can be purchased from within the village. Remember it’s cash only, but there’s an ATM inside the village if you decide to purchase the coupons.
Santa will be there every night of the festival from 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm waiting to take pictures with you!
You can find the village at 200 Greenleaf Dr, Lafayette, Louisiana 70506. Are you planning on going to this magical Christmas village in Louisiana? Have you been in previous years? Let us know in the comments below — we’d love to hear from you!
