About Cajun Heartland State Fair
The Cajun Heartland State Fair transforms the Cajundome & Convention Center in Lafayette into south Louisiana's premier spring carnival experience, running 10 days over Memorial Day weekend and beyond. Managed by the Cajundome staff, this event serves as the de facto state fair for Acadiana — the Cajun and Creole heartland of south-central Louisiana.
What to Expect
Carnival midway with dozens of rides, live entertainment across multiple stages, fair food with a heavy Cajun influence, games, and commercial vendors. The indoor Cajundome setting keeps portions of the fair comfortable even in Louisiana's warm spring weather.
Visitor Tips
Located at 444 Cajundome Blvd in Lafayette, just off I-10. The 10-day run across Memorial Day weekend provides plenty of opportunities to visit. Lafayette is the cultural capital of Cajun country — combine the fair with a crawfish boil, live zydeco music, and a visit to the Acadian Village nearby.
