NOLA Zydeco Fest
Heritage Park 1701 Bayou Lane, Slidell, Louisiana 70458
Each fall, the biggest names in Zydeco convene in a celebration of culture, the Creole way. Think high-energy dance floors (and dance lessons, for those who need to brush up), jam sessions, a gumbo cook-off, and dozens of local makers selling their treasures. And of course, live performances by Lil Nathan & the Zydeco Big Timers, Chubby Carrier & the Bayou Swamp Band, Dwayne Dopsie & the Zydeco Hellraisers, Rusty Metoyer & the Zydeco Crush, and Wayne Singleton and Urban Creole.
Stepping out from its traditional location at Crescent Park in New Orleans, this year the festival will make its Slidell debut at Heritage Park. 11 am–9 pm. $28.52, with options to upgrade. Free tickets are available at a limited capacity in person at the Visit the Northshore Visitor Center, with a limit of two tickets per person.
