Put These on Your 'Must Do' Things for 2016 in Louisiana!

We live in a state that is famous for its food, art, music, and people, so it's no surprise that folks want to come visit the Bayou State! But if you live here, there are some 'Must Do' things to put on your list for 2016, and thanks to our friends at OnlyInYorState for bringing our attention to these fab events. Here are things to put on your list for the upcoming year for some fun and adventure! Some of them are things that we overlook in our everyday lives, but they are still incredibly cool.
