About the day
National Louisiana Day on 9 November recognises the state that gave America jazz, Creole cooking and its own Mardi Gras. Louisiana became US territory through the 1803 Louisiana Purchase and joined the Union in 1812 as the first of 15 states carved from the region. Its culture blends Native American, French, Spanish, German, African, Irish and Caribbean influences.
People celebrate by exploring Louisiana's food, music and history, visiting its state parks and historic sites or museums such as the New Orleans Jazz Museum, and sharing their favourite places with #NationalLouisianaDay.
The day suits tourism boards, hotels, Cajun and Creole restaurants, music venues, museums and travel media.
