Lake Charles is a must-visit city in Cajun Country, thanks to more than 75 annual fairs and festivals, tranquil golf greens, thrilling casino gaming and an up-and-coming culinary scene. In 1781, French settler Martin LeBleu and his wife became the fi rst European residents in this Franco in fl ected city known for its Cajun, or Acadian, culture. This means spicy jambalaya, zydeco music and Mardi Gras. In fact, the city’s Mardi Gras celebration rivals that of New Orleans, so it's a spectacle not to be missed. Lake Charles’s pre Lenten holiday features spectacular costumes, fun fi lled parades and festive activities like the original, but with a decidedly local touch. In that same vein of thrilling decadence, Lake Charles is home to some of the region’s most popular gaming establishments. Delta Downs

Racetrack, the Isle of Capri Casino and L’Auberge Casino Resort Lake Charles o ff er riverboat- and track-based gaming options, along with excellent accommodations, fi ne cuisine and entertainment. When you’re ready for a break from all the gaming action, head to the nearby Creole Nature Trail All-American Road for a tranquil Southern wetland safari. Scenic driving and walking tours through the beaches and marshlands of Calcasieu and Cameron parishes will open visitors’ eyes to local wildlife, including alligator, armadillo, mink, nutria and unique swampland fauna. Fishing is also a must in this sportsman’s paradise, where such major tournaments as ESPN’s Red fi sh Cup and the Red fi sh Nation Q Series have been held. Hire yourself a local guide and try your hand at the sport on the still waters of the bayou.
