The Lousiana Cajun-Zydeco Festival
New Orleans, LA -The second annual Louisiana Cajun-Zydeco Festival returns to the Old U.S. Mint in New Orleans June 13-15, 2008, with a stellar lineup of Southwest Louisiana dance music.
The festival features two Grammy winners - Terrance Simien & the Zydeco Experience and BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet - and three recent Grammy nominees: Steve Riley & the Mamou Playboys, the Lost Bayou Ramblers and Roddie Romero & the Hub City Allstars.
Produced by the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation, the Louisiana Cajun-Zydeco Festival is co-sponsored by the New Orleans Metropolitan Convention & Visitors Bureau and the Louisiana Division of the Arts.
The festival is being presented in close collaboration with two partner events: The Louisiana Seafood Festival (sponsored by the Louisiana Seafood Promotion Board and the French Quarter Business Association) and the Creole Tomato Festival (sponsored by the Great French Market).
The Cajun-Zydeco Festival and the Seafood Festival both take place at the Old U.S. Mint. The Creole Tomato Festival happens just a few steps away at the historic French Market. All three events will be in full swing from Friday through Sunday.
Combined, they make for "A New Orleans Vieux to Do: Three Festivals In One."
