Rich in history with at least a dozen Plantation Antebellum homes in the area.
The main claim to fame is the annual Gonzales Jambalaya Festival. Since 1967 the festival has been held in Gonzales. Jambalaya is a rice/meat mixture, cooked in large black cast iron pots over open wood flame. Usually made from chicken or pork seasoning and rice. It is usually held in the last weekend of May and is held right here at the City Hall!
Here is a GREAT link for the Festival here.
