This Labor Day weekend, head to Opelousas, the Zydeco capitol of the world, to have a foot stompin’ good time at the 33rd annual Southwest Zydeco Music Festival!
In addition to hearing the best Zydeco, Cajun, swamp-pop, swing, R&B and southern soul artists Louisiana has to offer, you can also take part in dance events, listen to traditional storytelling, and sit in on discussions and presentations to learn about the music’s history, as well as its different cultural influences.
And, of course, it isn’t a festival without authentic, sinful Cajun and Creole cuisine! The festival will feature a Black Pot Cook-Off, and local vendors will provide you with foods such as buffalo catfish, red beans and rice, fried chicken, smothered okra, and more.
The event begins on the morning of Saturday, September 5 with the traditional Zydeco breakfast, hosted in the heart of downtown Opelousas.
The Southwest Zydeco Music Festival will be held at Zydeco Festival Park until the last person stops dancing!
