Salle de Dance
A "Cajun Woodstock " perfectly describes the upcoming, 27th annual, " Festival Acadiens et Creole"! Only 3 more days!! This year's festival will kick off on, Fri., October 9th, at Downtown Alive , with Feufollet, Jimmy C. Newman, and Doug Kershaw and continue on Saturday, October 10th, through Sun., October 11th, in Girard Park, in central Lafayette. Three days of nothing but, Cajun fun, music and food!! It is going to be a blast! This is the big one, the one that celebrates all things Cajun and Creole! Here are a few pics, out of the hundreds that I took, at last year's festival. (click to enlarge)
The music, the food, the art, the culture, the people! Festival Acadiens et Creole will host three different music stages, providing a non- stop music and dancing atmosphere. Many families set up gazebos where they barbeque and visit and catch up with with old friends. You see just about everyone that you ever knew and meet lots of new people from all over the world!

And you won't want to miss the wonderful variety of Cajun and Creole cuisine, that will be for sale by many of Acadiana's award winning Cajun and Creole restaurants. Oh cest bon, cher!
