Although Feufollet has often been hailed as the future of Cajun music, a more current assessment must admit that they are now the present of Cajun music. Once idolized at at early age for their precocious musicianship and sent all over the world as youthful emblems of Acadiana’s cultural resurgence, the members of Feufollet have, in the meantime, grown into the music as young adults. While Feufollet remains central to the neotraditionalist brush fire they helped ignite as youths, their latest album finds the band coming into its own and pushing the envelope, leading the way once again as Cajun music extends itself into a new century.

Sunday Nov8th 2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Each year the Fa Tras Cajun Band entertains the crowd while the 5000 Egg Omelette is being prepared. They are an institution with the Omelette Celebration and the local flavor they add to the afternoon is irreplaceable.
