DAIQUIRIS

Sweet in taste, like an adult snoball, daiquiris are a staple of the region and a Louisiana tradition. Crawgator, Cajun Colada, Painkiller... the flavors go on and on, as do the sizes. Stop by The Seafood Pot or one of New Orleans Original Daiquiris, one of the many daiquiri shops in the area, and grab one the next time you find yourself out here.

MINT JULEP

Enjoy a refreshing mint julep as you stroll beneath the live oaks at Oak Alley Plantation or while enjoying fresh Louisiana seafood at B&C Seafood. No matter where you stop, you can ask your bartender to make you their own version of this famous drink.

JULIA BROWN

You’ll hear the legacy of Julia Brown as you make your way through the Manchac Swamp, but come to Frenier Landing to taste the drink that her story inspired. Beware, they say the drink can conjure her spirit!

CAFFEINE

Get your river spark. Enjoy CoffeeCo or PJ's Coffee at Café Perique and view some local art.

RIVER RHYTHMS

Our rhythms are the pulse of our people.

LIVE MUSIC

Zydeco began as a blend of Louisiana French accordion music and AfroCaribbean beats. A mixture of Creole, Cajun, gospel, and the blues, it has evolved with other influences. Instruments include accordions and washboards, guitars and drums creating a sound that moves your feet as much as your spirit. Be sure to stop by Frenier Landing for their weekly live music

SWAMP POP

Swamp pop is identified by its layers of instrumental features. Honky-tonk pianos, heavy bass lines, blaring horns sections are all stacked atop smooth R&B backbeats. The beginnings of this sound can be traced back to the 50’s and early 60’s, but it wasn’t until English musician Bill Millar coined the term “swamp pop” in the 70’s that listeners associated this sound with our region. Weekly dances are held at Boutte Bingo Hall on Saturday/Sunday nights.

GOSPEL / SOUL

Experience a musical journey through African American history at Historic Riverland’s Soul River Music Journey. Travel through time from the call and response of the enslaved to modern day music. Enjoy the gospel tent at the annual Andouille Festival in October.
