LAFAYETTE, La. (KPEL News) — When I moved here, I was not great about going out to experience all Lafayette had to offer. But, over the years, I've rectified that. This city has so much to offer, and it never feels like you've really hit it all.

Between the festivals, the food, and the attractions, there's just so much to do. Having been here well over a decade now, it's still somewhat overwhelming how much there is still to discover in Acadiana.
