Monroe – West Monroe Convention & Visitors Bureau of Ouachita Parish

Monroe-West Monroe Convention & Visitors Bureau of Ouachita Parish was created by the state to serve as the marketing arm for the cities of Monroe-West Monroe and Ouachita Parish. Its primary funding is provided by occupancy and sales taxes on all hotel/motel room rentals in Ouachita Parish.

Their mission is to attract conventions and tourists not only to the parish but also to the region. There are many activities and events in the area of which residents can take advantage. Recreational activities such as golfing, boating, swimming, camping and ball playing are year-round with the mild climate in the area.

The following is a partial list of activities taking place in the region throughout the year. Specifics on these and other events can be found on the Convention and Visitors Bureau’s calendar of events.

For more information on these and other varied events and activities, please visit the Monore-West Monroe Convention & Visitors Bureau website.
