LARC's Noel Acadien au Village

December 11, 2025

Noel Acadien au Village is Lafayette’s enchanting annual holiday tradition where LARC’s historic Acadian Village transforms into a twinkling winter wonderland with half-a-million Christmas lights, live entertainment, carnival rides, local food, photos with Santa, and festive shopping. It’s more than just a light display — it’s a celebration of Cajun Christmas culture and community, inviting families and friends to stroll among beautifully lit 19th-century Acadian buildings and create lasting memories. Best of all, every ticket helps support LARC’s mission of empowering individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, making the magic of the season shine even brighter for everyone.
