Acadiana City Guide
Carencro, Louisiana
Events yesterdaySmall town, big plates
Carencro sits on Lafayette's north side and punches above its weight on Cajun classics — plate lunches, smoked meats, and Saturday boudin runs are a way of life. It's also prime territory for crawfish boils in season.
Good to know: Carencro's Azalea Trail is one of Acadiana's most photographed blooming spots in March.
