the festival
The
South Louisiana Black Pot Festival & Cookoff is one of the
most unique festivals in Acadiana. Held annually at Lafayette’s
Acadian Village, the festival celebrates its 4th year this October
with two days of great music, dancing, food, camping & jamming.
The festival is a cooperative of south Louisiana musicians, artists
and roots enthusiasts, creating an unprecedented gathering of
south Louisiana’s hottest roots bands, as well as a number
of groups from all over the country. Live performances range from
Cajun & Zaricôt (zydeco), to Creole, Swing, Hot Jazz,
Blues, Bluegrass, Americana, Irish & Old-Time, this festival
has something for everyone. Plus, an old-fashioned black pot cook-off,
accordion contest, called square dancing, and ample camping space
for tents & RV’s and much more!
