The City of Lake Charles is teaming up with Visit Lake Charles to announce the launch of the #LakeCharlesFamilyFun branding campaign.
The campaign, designed to offer families a more concise way to access information on family-friendly events in the city, is the result of a community survey conducted earlier this year. 
“There is so much going on right now for families in this City! Sometimes people just don’t hear about an event until after it happens,” said Mayor Nic Hunter. “For one example, the City’s Partners in Parks initiative is providing fun, free events nearly every weekend. We also know other agencies are providing high quality, accessible programming. Our goal is to work with Visit Lake Charles, who does a phenomenal job of promoting events in the area, to make it very easy and streamlined for families to experience all there is to do here in this community.”
The campaign will feature a social media post on the first of each month on the Lake Charles City Hall Facebook page and Instagram Account, providing an at-a-glance calendar of events for the month. Look for the hashtag #LakeCharlesFamilyFun to follow along with the events. 
  
Additionally, Visit Lake Charles has created a landing page on its website containing blog posts, a calendar of events, and more for families looking for activities taking place throughout Calcasieu Parish. Residents can visit www.visitlakecharles.org/family for a complete list of family-friendly events and attractions. 
“Tourism thrives when it’s rooted in the local community,” said Kyle Edmiston, the president and CEO of Visit Lake Charles. “By showcasing unique experiences like our family-friendly events, we keep our community informed and strengthen the bond between residents and visitors.”
Residents are also invited to tune into KPLC 7 News Sunrise. Visit Lake Charles provides a look ahead at the weekend’s family-friendly events each Thursday morning.
