There will be a special event Sunday, September 19th (tomorrow) at the Blue Moon Saloon & Guesthouse in Lafayette, LA. It will be the kick off event for Grand Reveil Acadien (Great Acadian Awakening) starting at 5pm (music starts at 6pm).
Michot Brokedown (Louie & Andre Michot) and Feufollet & Sullyville Rambler (Ryan Brunet & friends) will provide the music for the evening.
The Grand Reveil Acadien is presented by the organization Louisiane-Acadie and sponsored by the State of Louisiana and the Lafayette Consolidated Government.
Louisiane-Acadie was created to promote the Cajun heritage and culture and to educate the people of Louisiana about its rich history.
The Grand Reveil Acadien’s “mission is to awaken the population of Louisiana, primarily those of Acadian descent and the youth, to the realization that our language, culture and coastal lands are being threatened.”
And while the kick off event is this week, the Grand Reveil Acadien itself will take place in October of next year (2011) in several cities of south Louisiana, beginning in New Orleans with the unveiling of an Acadian monument and end in Lafayette in conjunction with Festivals Acadiens & Creoles. There will be family reunions, seminars, lectures, and concerts.
I will be at the event Sunday to celebrate my Acadian heritage and I hope you will, too!!
