Creole Culture Day at Vermilionville

Créole Culture Day returns this summer at Vermilionville. The event, presented by the venue in partnership with C.R.E.O.L.E. Inc., celebrates Créole heritage and culture with food, history, crafts, dance, and art. Live music will be performed by Wayne Singleton and the Same Ol' Two Step, and visitors can explore their own musical talents at Louisiana Folkroots' "Instrument Petting Zoo". Explore Créolité through artwork by Anne Guillot and poetry by Alex PoeticSoul Johnson. And finally, dive into the local corner of Beyoncé discourse with a discussion led by Jacqueline Jones from Baton Rouge Community College, who will present "The Forgotten Trailblazers: America's Black Cowboys". 

Come celebrate the Creole traditions that have influenced the contemporary folklife that permeates through the region, for one day only. 10 am–4 pm. Free. facebook.com/Vermilionville.
