It's just a few weekends away, the largest celebration of Cajun and Creole culture in the world. It's a Louisiana tradition that's shaking out the good stuff.
The Louisiana Association of Fairs and Festivals has recently announced the elimination of the evening gown and on-stage Q&A portions of festival pageants that fall under the organizations purview.
The annual event is the oldest and largest agricultural festival in Louisiana and we couldn't be more excited to tell you about what's in store this year.
Every year the folks that put together the Shrimp Festival book some great local and national musicians to play the grandstand all weekend long. And this year's line-up is as solid as you'll find.
As you can imagine, it is expected to be a very busy night downtown. As a result, Festival organizers have provided information to help everyone enjoy a sure-to-be epic night of free live music.
