Extend Your Stay

This three-day festival is a can’t-miss event, and we recommend getting your full REM sleep at a comfortable accommodation. Discover affordable suites, pet-friendly services, and so much more.

Come for the music festival and stay for the unforgettable activities. In Jefferson Parish, we like to literally “soak” it all in with fishing, boating, and paddling experiences. If you like to stay dry, make your own adventure with museums, upcoming musicals and plays, and boutique shopping.

Sing and dance along to this foot-stomping event for the Grand Isle community. Here, Louisianan grit comes alive with soulful performances, food, and handcrafted treasures on display.
