The Web Site Festivals Acadiens Each September, the city of Lafayette, Louisiana, is host to the Festivals Acadiens. This series of festivals celebrates Cajun life through its music and food. Many bands, such as Beausoleil, and D.L. Menard, perform here nearly every year. Along with the music, the festivals celebrate Cajun life through other means. Naturally, Cajun dancing is done at the music festival.
Cajun food is available throughout the fairgrounds.
Other events, such as music workshops, are held in the Heritage area of the festival. A native crafts exhibit is held at the nearby Museum of Natural History, and other events are hosted in downtown Lafayette. Other activities may include Cajun cooking schools, Comedy shows, street fairs, craft shows, and art shows. Fun activities for children are included. All rights reserved.
