Festival Time pt. 1

Acadiens et Creoles

Come be apart of the fun. 
Relax, Have fun, Eat Shop, and enjoy the Zydeco music. 

When: October 
Where: Lafayette, LA
History: Acadians, or Cajuns as they are now called, were exiled from Nova Scotia in 1755. They took with them few possessions but did carry away a rich cultural heritage, which included a blend of French, Celtic, Scots-Irish and Native American influences. This mixture is evident in a rich oral tradition and repertoire of songs and dances.
