About Iota

Tucked into Acadia Parish, Iota offers a quiet, slow-paced lifestyle steeped in Cajun culture. Daily life revolves around a close-knit rural community, but things really pick up every Mardi Gras during the Tee-Mamou-Iota Folklife Festival. The celebration fills downtown with live Cajun music, authentic food, and traditional Courir runs, giving this small southwest Louisiana town a distinct charm and strong community spirit.
