    Lake Charles, the fifth-largest incorporated city in Louisiana is considered a major center of petrochemical refining, gaming, and education, being home to McNeese State University and Sowela Technical Community College. Because of the many lakes and waterways throughout the area, metropolitan Lake Charles is often referred to as "The Lake Area." Lake Charles has a strong Cajun culture because of its location in southern Louisiana. Many festivals are held in Lake Charles with the Louisiana Pirate Festival being the most popular. Four days filled with Cajun food, family fun, and festivities held at the beginning of May.
