Cultural Activities
Natchitoches and the Cane River areas adjoining the town are the birthplaces of
Louisiana Creole culture, the place of historical development of a people who
initiated music styles precursor to jazz, the spice of Louisiana food, and the color
and vibrancy of the arts and culture. The town is a colorful blend of many ethnic
and racial groups. It has blues, jazz and dynamite food and is striking distance of
the home of tabasco, wild alligators, painters and blues men on the street.
In Natchitoches you will find plenty to do. There are symphonies throughout most
of the year, plays at the University, festivals throughout the season, culminating in
the famous Natchitoches Christmas Festival where thousands visit the town to
see the famous Christmas lights along the river.
Enjoy good music and good food at any time. The House of Aloha is located less
than three blocks, an easy walk, to restaurants, shopping and the famous Cane
River Lake. You can stroll along the banks of the lake that winds itself through
the Parish or stop and join the folks with fishing poles. Most of the time there are
boats who will take tourists for half hour or one hour excursions down the river to
enjoy the sights throughout the area.
Visit in any of the historic houses that represent the town's famous history, the
place where the country began its expansion from the Louisiana Purchase to the
West.
