AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Road Conditions: I-10 eastbound on the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge will narrow to one lane nightly this week, so travelers should plan for delays. Festival Season: Crowley’s International Rice Festival runs Oct. 15–18, with Cajun and country music, rides and food. The Boucherie & Balloon Festival follows in Sorrento Oct. 16–18, featuring hot-air balloons, cracklins, cooking contests and live music. New Orleans Tourism: The city drew 19.46 million visitors and $10.8 billion in visitor spending in 2025, but hotel operators face rising labor, insurance and maintenance costs as occupancy softens. Local Culture: Zwolle’s Tamale Fiesta marked its 50th anniversary Oct. 8–10 with food, music and a muddy truck competition, celebrating the town’s distinctive cultural roots.
