Louisiana's strong culture can be attributed to food, religion, sports, and art. These elements are the basis of the many festivals the state holds. While sharing many similarities to its neighbors along the Gulf Coast, Louisiana is unique in the influence of Louisiana French culture due to the historical waves of immigration of French-speaking settlers to Louisiana. Likewise, African-American culture plays a prominent role. While New Orleans, as the largest city, has had an outsize influence on Louisiana throughout its history, other rural and urban regions have contributed their shared histories and identities to the state's culture.
