Creole Culture Day & Exhibit

For the third year, the organization Louisiana Creole Culture invites folks across Acadiana to celebrate the rich heritage of the region's Creole communities. The festival is designed as an immersion into the world of traditional Creole life, starting with a live boucherie at 6 am, linguistic activities like Creole French Bingo, demonstrations of classic Creole crafts and dishes, and line dancing lessons, genealogy presentations, and live music by Dr. Boogie Live, Zydeco Roux, and David Sylvester. 10 am–4 pm at Town Hall Park in Grand Coteau. 

In conjunction with the festival, an exhibition at Lafayette City Hall Atrium will feature portraits taken by Milton Arceneaux of twenty Creole honorees from Acadiana's eight-parish region—each selected by the community for their contributions to sustaining and enriching local culture. Both events are free. creoleculture.com.
