The "Mini" Grand Reveil Acadien/Great Acadian Awakening

Even though the Great Acadian Awakening (GRA) that was originally supposed to take place is now postponed until 2022, there will be a "mini awakening" in Lafayette. This annual event that brings Acadians together for a nine-day celebration will not miss a year, with a one-day event. Mass will be held at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist at 9 am. Attendees will then gather at the Cajundome for a tintamarre, which will lead into a lunch on the second floor of the conference center where there will be guest speakers, live music, and fiddlers from the Leblanc Elementary French Immersion program. The adult lunch plate will be $20 and the kids lunch plate will be $10. Starts 9 am. louisianeacadie.com.
