SUMMARY:Original Southwest LA Zydeco Music Festival
DESCRIPTION:Opelousas is the Zydeco Music Capital of the World and home to one of the biggest zydeco music celebrations, the Original Southwest Louisiana Zydeco Music Festival. In 1981, there was a real fear that Creole and zydeco music was dying out. To combat this, a group of concerned citizens organized the Southwest Louisiana Zydeco Music Festival. Today, the event features the best performers in zydeco. Swamp-pop, swing, R&B, and southern soul enjoyers will also have a great time. It’s the perfect event to dance to your favorite zydeco musicians.\nOn Friday, enjoy the Zydeco Festival’s Kick-off Dance taking place at Evangeline Downs at 9pm. Tickets are $25.\nThe main event is at the Yambilee Building with music starting at 12pm. Stay tuned for the live music lineup.\nThe Southwest Louisiana Zydeco Music Festival is usually held the Saturday before Labor Day in Opelousas.\nGates open at 11am, but the music starts at 12pm. Admission is $25 for adults and $5 for kids 12 and under. No coolers allowed. RV Parking is $10/day (no electricity). No glass containers. No BBQ pits. No open flame burners.\n\n
