Getting There
Morgan City is located on the banks of the Atchafalaya River in south central Louisiana. If you’re coming from out of town and don’t want to drive all the way, the closest airports are Lafayette Regional Airport (66 miles) and Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (73 miles). You would have to rent a car and drive from there.
Lodging
Morgan City has plenty of lodging options for all budgets. Sleep Inn & Suites and Comfort Inn & Suites appear to be popular choices, but because it’s a small city, you will never be too far from the festival action no matter where you stay.
