Le Grand Hoorah

Le Grand Hoorah returns to Lakeview Park in  Eunice, Louisiana November 6-8. Enjoy Cajun cuisine, plus French language experiences, dancing, special events, outdoor fun, and optional camping.

“Our festival is about creating and fostering relationships focused on preserving the music, food, language and folk arts of the people of Acadiana,” explained Gilbert “Winky” Aucoin, President of the event’s nonprofit.

Headlining this year is Bon Soir Catin, as the festival plans to celebrate the group’s newly released album Bonne Vie, through Valcour Records. After this big performance, a traditional jam will take dancers into the night and close out the festival just before midnight.

As the festival kicks off on the Saturday morning, attendees can enjoy food booths, the Annual Opening Ceremonies, French immersion student performances and a French Invocation. The 2026 Hoorah Honorees are the iconic Cajun musicians / brothers, Ed & Bee Deshotels, and their lives will be honored at the event. Then the annual Sunday morning Catholic French Mass will take place at 9:30 am to close things out.
