Seasonal & Event Strategy
Lafayette's event calendar, particularly in spring and fall, significantly impacts traffic and demand. Our team plans routes to avoid congestion where possible and advises on optimal timing for pickups and drop-offs during major festivals like Festival International or Mardi Gras season. We account for road closures and increased pedestrian traffic to ensure punctuality for your group.
Festivals & Events: Extra Planning Notes
During Lafayette's major festivals like Festival International de Louisiane or Mardi Gras, road closures and increased traffic are common.
