Cajun Culture and Cuisine in its Natural Habitat
Located less than an hour from New Orleans in Terrebonne Parish, Houma is known for adding spice to traditional meetings and events. This southern Louisiana city offers modern meeting facilities, including everything from sensibly priced hotels to a 100,000-square-foot civic center.
Houma offers accommodations in traditional meeting hotels like the Ramada Inn, Plantation Inn and Holiday Inn. But the city also offers unique, one-of-a-kind accommodations such as Boudreaux’s Marina, a complete sport fishing facility with charter fishing, a waterfront restaurant and bar, sightseeing marsh tours and even guest rooms available for rent.
The city allows groups to experience authentic Cajun culture and cuisine while attending successful, streamlined meetings. In Houma, your group will never run out of things to do. You can choose from charter fishing, lively dance halls, birding trails, an exotic wildlife park, Mardi Gras celebrations and much more. There are plenty of venues to hear authentic zydeco music – and plenty of local bands are available to bring their music into your events. Creative meeting planners can incorporate a tour of cypress swamps, a visit to an elegant plantation, or a walking tour of the historic district into their events in Houma. More adventurous attendees can hook a big one on a fishing charter, or simply enjoy local fish, shrimp, crabs or oysters in a traditional Cajun cottage.
