The Courir de Mardi Gras0.6 mi
The country Mardi Gras has nothing to do with parades on a boulevard.
Clifton Chenier and zydeco10 mi
Chenier put the piano accordion, a rubboard vest his brother wore, and Texas blues together into something that could hold a dance hall against a rock band.
Original Southwest Louisiana Zydeco Music Festival11 mi
The oldest zydeco festival in the world, held at the Yambilee grounds in Opelousas since the early 1980s.
Rayne, the frog capital12 mi
A Frenchman began shipping bullfrogs from the local marsh to New Orleans restaurants and then to Paris, and for decades this was the centre of the American frog trade.
