Mardi Gras Traditions and History

Posted on by

If you’re anticipating the start of Mardi Gras in Louisiana, you’re among friends. Lots of friends! Mardi Gras is considered to be one of the biggest parties in America. It’s an event that draws millions of visitors from around the world. Obviously, a large percentage of those visitors go to New Orleans for Mardi Gras – and we know they have a pretty festive celebration up there in The Big Easy – but down here in Houma, we have an authentic Cajun Mardi Gras that’s not only family-friendly but every-bit as colorful and exciting as any other Mardi Gras celebration in the world. And that brings us to the topic of this blog article. What are the Mardi Gras traditions and history?

The history behind Mardi Gras is fairly well known. Here in the U.S., Mardi Gras falls on the last day before Ash Wednesday – which is followed by 40 days of Lent. As Lent is traditionally known as a (roughly) six week period of fasting and personal sacrifice that leads to Easter, Mardi Gras is a last grand celebration before the fasting period begins.

Mardi Gras is actually French for “Fat Tuesday.” The celebration gets its name because many Catholic observers of Lent would typically eat up all the traditionally-rich foods in the house (bacon, butter, eggs, and fatty meats) on the Tuesday before the start of fasting and sacrifice during Lent. And though many experts and historians agree that Mardi Gras celebrations in America are decidedly Catholic in origin, some have said that the celebration can be traced back to Europe. Many have suggested that Mardi Gras has its beginning in Ancient Rome and is linked to the pagan festival of Saturnalia.

The traditions associated with Mardi Gras include colorful floats, lavish costumes, marching bands, masked balls, King cake, costumed revelers, and beads. Lots of beads! The bead-throwing tradition dates all the way back to the 1840s. Decades ago, the beads thrown from floats were made from glass and imported from Czechoslovakia. Glass beads are still thrown from time to time during Mardi Gras and they are highly coveted by revelers.

Mardi Gras is also a celebration of color. Many who come in costume wear purple, green, and gold. These colors are said to represent justice, power, and faith. According to history, the colors were chosen by Grand Duke Alexis Alexandrovitch Romanoff of Russia when he came to New Orleans on a visit in 1872. 

Here in Louisiana, the Mardi Gras celebration we know today has been growing and evolving ever since the Governor of Louisiana signed the famous “Mardi Gras Act” in 1875 and allowed the festival to be recognized as a legal holiday in the state. The 2013 Mardi Gras celebration in Houma, Louisiana starts on Friday, February 1st with the Krewe of Hercules at 6:00 pm and runs nearly non-stop until the Krewe of Bonne Terre at 4:00 pm on Tuesday, February 12th.

If you’re interested in coming down to Houma, Louisiana for a Cajun Mardi Gras that’s fun for the whole family, call the Houma Louisiana Visitors Bureau at (800) 688-2732 for a 2013 Mardi Gras Brochure and Parade Schedule. Mardi Gras in Houma is a centuries-old, grand-style Cajun celebration. Let the good times roll!

Travelers to our fair city are always amazed by the quality (and quantity) of our authentic gumbo, étouffée, jambalaya, and poboy sandwiches. And if you’re down here for Mardi Gras and want to sample a little King Cake, we have plenty of that too!

The 2013 Mardi Gras in Houma, Louisiana starts on Friday, February 1st with the Krewe of Hercules at 6:00 pm and runs nearly non-stop until the Krewe of Bonne Terre at 4:00 pm on Tuesday, February 12th.

You can drive from coast to coast and never see the kinds of scenery and wildlife that you would see down around Houma, Louisiana.

So, make sure to pack your camera for the road trip.

Are you a seafood lover? Have we got a road trip idea for you!

This is a great little excursion from Route 182, as travelers get to see Lake Quitman and the Cocodrie Marine Terminal. The route also takes you north via Highway 56 through an area known for some of the best seafood in Terrebonne Parish.

Authentic Cajun Food in Houma Louisiana

Posted on by

Down here in Houma, Louisiana, we get all kinds of folks stopping through for chartered fishing tours, bird watching, swamp tours, Mardi Gras (one of the best in all of Louisiana, mind you!), and cultural events galore. We like to believe that we have something for just about every taste here in Houma. And that sentiment goes double for those who come down to Houma for a taste of authentic Cajun food.

Feeling hungry? Louisiana is a paradise of flavors. We pride ourselves on our unique regional dishes and love to entertain with food. Louisiana is most famous for gumbo, étouffée, jambalaya, and stew. As cooking is part of our culture and heritage, many of our famous Cajun dishes are made from local crawfish, catfish, shrimp, crab, sausages, and oysters. And the recipes have typically been passed down through the generations for hundreds of years.

So, it should be said that any visit to Southern Louisiana (the true heart of Cajun Country) should include a few stops to sample the food. If you’re planning a trip to Houma, Louisiana, it should also be said that the restaurants in the area offer some of the most authentic Cajun cooking anywhere in the region.

Never had real Cajun food? Well, let’s give you a little tour of what your taste buds are in for!

Cajun food is based on a few simple ingredients that, when combined together and allowed to cook low and slow, create a dish that is like no other regional food in the nation. Cajun food gets its rich culinary history from flavors brought to the region from France, Germany, Spain, the Canary Islands, and the Philippines. There’s also a good bit of Native American influence in Cajun food as well.

Gumbo is one of the oldest, most prized Cajun dishes. It’s a dark and savory mix of rice, seafood, okra and other vegetables in a broth made from a brown roux, chicken stock, and tomatoes. The primary seasonings in gumbo are filé powder made from ground sassafras leaves, bay leaf, and thyme.

Étouffée is another favorite Cajun dish – a stew made from crawfish. Typically served over rice, étouffée is made from many of the same ingredients as gumbo, but it is cooked longer and allowed to thicken. The flavors of the seasonings and the crawfish meld with the tomato-based sauce and turn into a wonderful meal made for sharing.

Jambalaya is a lot like Spanish paella, with its delicious blend of seafood and ham in a spicy tomato base. Like many Cajun dishes, jambalaya gets its flavor from a balanced mix of green pepper, celery, and onion. Jambalaya is typically cooked up with the rice in the same pot – which allows the rice to soak up many of the flavors from the seasonings and broth.

The Poboy Sandwich is another regional favorite. Typically made with fried shrimp, tomatoes, and lettuce on a sandwich roll, the poboy sandwich features a special rémoulade sauce (think: mayo, mustard, Cajun seasonings, pickles, garlic, paprika, and horseradish).

If that has your appetite calling out for a bit of down-home Cajun cuisine, there are plenty of restaurants and cafés in Houma, Louisiana ready to take your order. So, stop in some evening for a plate full of Cajun goodness and stay for a little music and dancing.

If you’re planning a trip to Houma and you’d like to sample a little Cajun food for breakfast, dinner, or supper, feel free to call the Houma Louisiana Visitors Bureau at (800) 688-2732 for your own Houma visitor guide and a listing of all the great restaurants in the area. Travelers come to Louisiana for many reasons, but those who’ve made the trip before know that there is no better region for authentic Cajun food and hospitality than in Houma, Louisiana.

Houma, Louisiana for Warmer Weather and Tons of Fishing

Posted on by

Some folks simply love cold-weather sports and vacations. They’re all about skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, ice skating, and anything else that has them wrapped up in layers out there in the mountains. And although we’re not knocking the occasional ski trip with the family (provided there’s a lot of hot cocoa involved), we’re more interested in spending the winter months down in Southern Louisiana – doing a little fishing. We think that you and your family might like the same this winter.

With average temperatures in December and January between 45 and 65 degrees Fahrenheit, Houma, Louisiana is a great place to escape the winter blues during the colder months and spend a little time doing something that most folks reserve for the summertime.

All in all, Southern Louisiana is a world-class fishing destination – with Houma the official gateway.

If you like variety in your fishing haul, it should also be mentioned that Houma and the surrounding fishing regions are a habitat for one of the most diverse combinations of fish anywhere on earth. With a rod and reel, you can pull Amberjack, Bass, Black Drum, Catfish, Cobia, Flounder, Grouper, King Mackerel, Redfish, Red Snapper, Speckled Trout, Shark, Tuna, and Yellowtail all day long. Keep in mind, the fishing regions around Houma offer some of the largest catch limits in the country. Our many chartered fishing tours operate throughout the year and include fishing licenses. Day and night trips are also available.

So, if a fishing trip sounds like something you and the family (or a private group) would enjoy in the coming months, don’t hesitate to make plans. Our captains know where the fish are biting – and they even know where to get some of the best gumbo, étouffée, and jambalaya in the area! And if you want to add a little more adventure to your stay in Houma, make sure to ask about fishing and hunting packages!

Ask about the dozens of marinas and launches available for your family or group.
