Louisiana’s Spiciest Festival
Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010Growing up in the heart of Cajun country, you learn at an early age that there is a festival to celebrate just about anything you can think of in Louisiana. For example, I grew up in Vermilion Parish where we have several festivals to include (but not limited to) celebrations of Cattle, Ducks, Shrimp, and a Giant Omelette. So its no surprise that Opelousas has a festival or two of its own. The Opelousas Spice & Music Festival is still a new festival in the world of festivals. The festival was started about 5 years ago with the help of a few local spice companies, including Tony Chachere’s.

The Opelousas Spice & Music Festival is held the first weekend of June with a full schedule of music, food, arts and crafts and cultural activities. All of the live music is homegrown with names like Chris Ardoin and Keith Frank who are from Opelousas and the surrounding area. With all of the live music, you can’t help but dance, so why not have a dance contest? The Zydeco Dance contest takes place on Saturday night about an hour after the Creole Cooking Demonstrations. Lets not forget the Fiddle Jam Workshop with local legend Hadley Castille.

With so much to do, see, and enjoy; you can see why the Opelousas Spice & Music Festival is growing. So, if you are looking for something to do this weekend, why not dance over and check it out? You might win the Zydeco Dance Contest!
