Acadiana’s ongoing drought isn’t just affecting crops and lawns; it can also impact health. Local doctors say the dry air is taking a toll on sinuses and respiratory systems across the region.

It's now been more than one week since the federal government shut down, and the impact is now rippling through the skies, with more U.S. air travelers impacted due to staffing shortages at airports.

The Grand Réveil Acadien, a two-week celebration of Cajun culture held every five years, invites residents and visitors across Acadiana to partake in Cajun food, music, heritage and customs.
