Geismar
Along the road between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, Geismar awaits.
Things to Do
Attend the annual spring Jambalaya Festival in nearby Gonzales and visit the nearby Jambalaya Park. If you love to shop, explore the sprawling Tanger Factory Outlet Mall or Cabela’s, which is part museum, part retail store for campers, fishermen and hunters.
Places to Stay
While there are plenty of commercial places to stay, nearby bed-and-breakfasts offer a quaint, Southern feel. Consider Inn on the River, Houmas House or The Stockade.
Food
Geismar brings Louisiana’s delicious seafood to life. Grab a plate of crispy catfish at Don’s Seafood, Mike Anderson’s or Philay’s Catfish n’ More. Love local libations? Fill your cup at Sugarfield Spirits or Gilla Brewing Company.
Getting There
It's easy to navigate Geismar — especially since the city is less than an hour from New Orleans. If you're flying into town, rent a car, hail a taxi or book a rideshare from the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport.
