IFWTWA Media Trip
Monroe / West Monroe
October 9-12, 2025
Discover Monroe-West Monroe nestled between a bayou and a byway. It’s an eclectic destination where the natural resources are as rich as the flavors, where industry keeps time with entertainment, and where two cities beat with one heart.
Experience high-flying adventure at the Chennault Aviation & Military Museum. See where the Robertson’s of Duck Dynasty fame got their start at the Duck Commander Warehouse. Be on the lookout for alligators and other wildlife at Black Bayou Lake National Wildlife Refuge, and grab a 5¢ Coke at Biedenharn Museum and Gardens from an antique Coke machine.
Hungry? We’ve got something for everyone on our menu, like fried chicken, Catfish Desiard, smothered pork chops, tasty po’boys, big burgers, hotwater cornbread, banana caramel pudding, and more!
Discover Monroe / West Monroe, where you’re welcome to play outside the lines.
