Celebrations for ALL Louisianians: Jambalaya Festival

Over the next year, the Advocacy Center will be publishing a series of articles with information about accessibility at fairs and festivals across the state.  This article focuses on accessibility at the Jambalaya Festival.

What’s your favorite festival?  Is there one that you’ve always wanted to attend, but haven’t because of accessibility concerns?   What about a festival you always attend because accessibility is never in question?  Do you have any festival pictures you’d like to share?  Let us know at advocacycenter@advocacyla.org or via our Facebook page.
