Cane River National Heritage Area invites public to Creole Origins: Crafting Creole Traditions

The Cane River National Heritage Area (CRNHA) invites the public to experience the rich traditions of Creole culture during Crafting Creole Traditions on Saturday, Feb. 14 from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. at the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame and Northwest Louisiana History Museum. Admission is free and open to all ages.

This special event will celebrate the artistry, foodways, and cultural traditions that have shaped the Cane River region for generations. Guests will enjoy traditional craft demonstrations, food samplings, and opportunities to engage directly with local culture bearers and artisans who continue to preserve and pass down Creole traditions.

Crafting Creole Culture is designed to complement CRNHA’s Creole Origins exhibit, which remains on display through March at the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame and Northwest Louisiana History Museum. Together, the exhibit and event offer visitors a deeper understanding of Creole heritage through both historical interpretation and hands-on cultural experiences.

The event is part of CRNHA’s ongoing mission to preserve, interpret, and promote the natural, cultural, and historical resources of the Cane River region through educational programming and community engagement.
