Louisiana Swampfest
New Orleans, LA -The Louisiana Swamp Exhibit is where is all started. It was the inspiration for the Louisiana Swamp Fest and central point for meeting Swamp Creatures - two and four legged kinds. Audubon Zoo's Louisiana Swamp Exhibit is the most authentic swamp exhibit in Louisiana.
Fest-goers can experience traditional Cajun music, learn how to create generation-old wood carvings, or hear about the origins of Cajun culture. Feedings throughout the Louisiana Swamp Exhibit include alligators, nutria, water snakes, possums, coons or just about any other Swamp inhabitant there is!
The Cajun Heritage Demonstrations is a special attraction of the Louisiana Swamp Festival.
This attraction gives visitors the opportunity
to learn about the preservation of a culture-the Cajun culture
of Louisiana. Visitors participate in daily presentations encompassing
storytelling, boat making, wood carving, castnet knitting, weaving,
doll making and more. Local and regional Louisiana natives demonstrate
their generations-old lifestyle elements. Basket weavers weave
functional and beautiful creations. Wood carvers make decoys as
well as instruct.
