Lafayette in September
Not the best time
September isn't ideal for Lafayette. Consider a different month.
All Months
March through May is perfect — festivals every weekend, crawfish in season, and weather that doesn't melt your face off. Fall (October-November) runs a close second with comfortable temps and Festival Acadiens et Créoles in October. Summer is brutal. We're talking 95 degrees with 90% humidity brutal. But if you can handle it, hotel rates drop and you'll have restaurants to yourself. Winter is mild but unpredictable — could be 70 and sunny or 35 and raining. Festival season peaks in spring, so book early if you're coming for Mardi Gras or Festival International de Louisiane in April.
