Book three to six months out for most Lafayette trips, and stretch that to six months or more for the city's peak demand windows. Festival International de Louisiane (late April — 300,000+ attendees over five days downtown) is the single tightest stretch of the year. Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday falls February 17, 2026) fills buses weeks in advance.
Cajun Field home football Saturdays and Festivals Acadiens et Créoles (second weekend of October at Girard Park) both pull heavy demand. Prom season across Lafayette Parish runs April through May and books out early across the entire Acadiana market. The earlier you compare and lock in, the better your pricing and vehicle selection will be.
Bus drop-off at the Cajundome is on Cajundome Blvd at the main entrance. Surface lot parking for large vehicles is available in the adjacent lots surrounding the arena. For major events and concerts, confirm current drop-off and parking arrangements on the Cajundome's official website or by calling 504-607-7900 before your visit, since event-specific traffic management can shift the approach.

A 56-passenger charter bus fits large groups heading to festivals, sporting events, or long-distance destinations. When you use the online quote tool, just enter your passenger count and you will see the vehicle options that fit your group — side by side, with pictures and pricing!
Charter bus parking at Cajun Field on UL Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns football game days is coordinated through UL Lafayette Athletics. Surface lot parking surrounds the stadium, but game-day traffic on Reinhardt Dr and Congress St builds quickly — buses typically stage in lots adjacent to the stadium. We strongly recommend confirming current game-day bus parking arrangements directly with UL Lafayette Athletics before your visit, since lot assignments can shift by event.
Book at least three to six months in advance for the best pricing and vehicle selection in Lafayette. For the city's peak demand dates — Festival International de Louisiane in late April, Mardi Gras weekend, Cajun Field home football Saturdays, Festivals Acadiens et Créoles in October, and prom season across Lafayette Parish in April and May — book six months or more ahead. Waiting until the last minute almost always means higher rates, fewer vehicle options, or both.

Bus groups stage at the landing, with parking available for large vehicles at the facility.
