Al Berard was a Cajun musician, recording artist, and composer in addition to being considered a world-renowned Cajun fiddler. He dedicated his life to promoting and preserving Cajun culture in Louisiana. Throughout his life, he played with several different bands and taught fiddle and guitar lessons. Berard’s passion for music began when he was a young child and stayed with him until his death.
To celebrate his life and pick up where he left off, the Al Berard Music Festival is held each year in Henderson, Louisiana. The festival is a day full of music, food, dancing, and family friendly festivities, a silent auction, a dance competition, and a live acoustic jam. There’s even an on-site playground and face painting station for the kids, as well as camper spots for your convenience.
The Al Berard Music Festival will be held at Henry Guidry Memorial Park in Henderson next Saturday, November 28, from 10 AM to 11 PM. Proceeds from the festival benefit the Al Beard Memorial Music Fund, which provides instruments, instructors, and scholarships to students as well as funds community organizations that support the musical community in Louisiana. Don’t miss out on this fun-filled day!
