Festivals Acadiens et Créoles has celebrated Louisiana’s deep and wide French cultural roots since 1974, and organizers weren’t about to put the Zydeco and beignets on hold for COVID. This year, the festival will be held entirely virtually, broadcast for the enjoyment of “tout les monde”. Music will stream all weekend as well as be available on demand, featuring Acadiana favorites like Terry & the Zydeco Bad Boys, The Revelers, Wayne Toups & ZydeCajun, and many others. Cooking demonstrations, workshops, a virtual Tour de Atakapas, and festival eats at various local restaurants will naturally be part of the experience, too. The kick off to the festival is at 7:30 pm on Friday, with music beginning right after and again at 4 pm on Saturday and at 3 pm on Sunday. festivalsacadiens.com.
