JEFFERSON PARISH STRONG
We at the Jefferson Convention & Visitors Bureau are standing alongside our hospitality and tourism community as we navigate these difficult times. We aim to champion our businesses, support our community and continue to foster the spirit of Jefferson Parish.
We know that our creative community is innovative and resilient. We encourage everyone to share your story using #JeffersonParishStrong and tag @VisitJeffersonParish on social. We have compiled resources and activities to entertain as well as support our local businesses. Take this time to plan something fun close to home and rediscover your own backyard all while supporting local businesses who need us right now. Treat yourself to a little quarantine-staycation!
