Happy Earth Day from Louisiana’s Bayou Country! 🌎🛶✨

From our winding bayous to our vibrant wetlands, we’re proud to call this natural beauty home.

Let’s keep it clean, green, and thriving for generations to come. ♻️

The sun is rising over the Bayou Country, casting a warm glow across the water and waking up the quiet beauty of South Louisiana.

Easter morning in Houma feels especially peaceful—church bells ringing in the distance, the scent of spring in the air, and families gathering to celebrate new beginnings.

It’s a reminder of renewal, hope, and the deep roots of community that make this place so special.

Wishing you a joyful Easter filled with love, light, and bayou blessings. 💛🌅

Hungry for a taste of Louisiana?

National Geographic just featured 5 of Louisiana’s most iconic dishes—and Houma made the list! The Bayou Country Crawfish Trail and Boudreau & Thibodeau's Cajun Cookin were both spotlighted for serving up unforgettable Cajun flavor. 🦞✨

Check out the article by Tom Burson and see why foodies are flocking to Louisiana’s Bayou Country:

Succulent seafood stews, bold flavours and hearty fusions — these Lousianan dishes prove a lesson in the state's history, topography and culinary traditions.

Starting today, Houma is officially switching to Bayou Standard Time (BST) — because let’s be honest, the bayou moves at its own pace! Under BST, everything runs about 15 minutes later than scheduled, giving folks a little extra time to enjoy their coffee, finish their gumbo, or just take life slow like we do down here. 🌅🛶✨

What do y’all think — should BST be Louisiana’s official time zone?
