The Atchafalaya is more than a name. Its meaning, "long river," speaks to the waterway that has shaped the people, communities, and way of life along the Cajun Coast for generations.

Since 2006, the Atchafalaya National Heritage Area has celebrated the culture, history, and natural beauty found throughout 14 Louisiana parishes, including right here in St. Mary Parish.

Our connection to the water runs deep. From the sh*****ng and petroleum industries to the boats that travel our waterways and the traditions we celebrate, the Atchafalaya is woven into the story of our community. 🦐⚓

As we head into Louisiana Shrimp & Petroleum Festival week, there is no better time to get out and experience the waterways and places that make the Cajun Coast so uniquely beautiful.

Come explore the stories, scenery, and traditions waiting for you here. 💙

The 91st festival opens Thursday: https://cajuncoast.com/s&p
