It’s not easy being isolated from your friends and family, but unfortunately, due to the threat of COVID-19, it’s the safest option right now. Hopefully, we’ll all be able to socialize again sooner rather than later, and when we do, there are several things every Louisianian will do.
- Throw a crawfish boil.
Peter Clark/Facebook We’re in prime crawfish-eating time and we’re all just chomping at the bit to get a crawfish boil or two in before the season ends.
- Eat your favorite restaurant.
Neil P./Trip Advisor If they’re open right now, you’ve probably shown them some love with a takeout order or two, but there’s nothing that compares to a sit-down meal at your favorite restaurant.
- Scan the calendar for festivals.
Shreveport-Bossier/Flickr Louisiana has over 400 festivals each and every year, and with the COVID-19 pandemic, many of them have been cancelled or postponed. Hopefully, we’ll see many of them reschedule for later dates, so you won’t miss out on your fave festival of the year.
- Meet up with friends.
Bart Everson/Flickr Video chat just isn’t the same.
- Give your kitchen a break.
Meal Makeover Moms/Flickr You’ve been cooking a lot during this quarantine, and while your culinary skills have most likely leveled up, you’ll be glad to take a break for a while.
- Hit the trails.
Shreveport-Bossier/Flickr There are 21 state parks in Louisiana, each one more beautiful than the next. Which ones will you visit first?
- Take the kids to the zoo.

- Support local business.
Todd787/Trip Advisor Now more than ever, it’s important to support those local mom and pop shops in your town. When things start to settle down, be sure to show some love to those local spots.
What are you looking forward to the most once quarantine is over? Let us know in the comments below! And if you have a local attraction, restaurant, or hiking trail you think we should know about, nominate it for a chance to be featured!
