Ray Abshire and The Balfa Brothers at the 1974 Festival Acadian.

Learn first-hand from masters of Cajun and Creole music, dance, cuisine, and culture in a very Louisiana setting—Lakeview Park & Beach in Eunice. The Dewey Balfa Cajun and Creole Heritage Week (also known as "Balfa Week"), put on by the Louisiana Folk Roots organization, is a true cultural immersion experience that includes workshops, jam sessions, featured artist presentations, and evening dances featuring some of the state's finest Cajun and Creole/zydeco bands. Workshops in accordion, fiddle, guitar, Cajun and Creole vocals, local dance, and Louisiana foodways are on offer, with an instructor roster that features many Louisiana artists. Find all the details, including up-to-date schedule information, at lafolkroots.org/balfa-week.
