Lake Charles

Lake Charles enjoys several glowing titles such as 'Festival Capital of Louisiana', and 'Number One Place To Raise A Family In Louisiana'. Set upon a plain, the city has a number of water bodies running through it. Numerous malls, commercial establishments, hospitals and educational institutions comprise this busy area which still manages to maintain a small town charm. Some festivals that take place here include the Cajun Music and Food Festival, the International Food and Music Festival, the Celtic Nations Heritage Festival and others, so make sure to visit during any such time.
