2019 Festival International in Lafayette Louisiana
2019 Festival International Music Lineup
Acadiana’s Festival International just dropped their 2019 music lineup and as was expected it’s a good one. Remember how laid back and low key Jazzfest was in the 80s? That’s the current state of affairs in downtown Lafayette when Festival rolls through.
It’s a trip. Oh, and it’s one of the best festivals in the state for eating. Dozens of the best Cajun cooks in the region gather to vend a murderer’s row of old school hot pots filled with gumbos, jambalayas, etouffes, and courtbouillons.
Alligator is one of the chief proteins.
24 different countries are on offer for the 33rd year of Festival with Sudan’s Alsarah and the Nubatones being the first band from their country to perform at the giant party.
Cha Wa and Tank and the Bangazs represent New Orleans.
I saw Haiti’s Boukman Eksperyans play here at Armstrong Park yesterday and they’ll be flying back to Louisiana for Festival.

We just caught wind of a workshop out in Chauvin, Louisiana where you can learn how to make gumbo in the Houma Indian style.
This is intriguing as gumbo is one of our main points of interest in Louisiana cuisine and we have never heard of this particular technique.
We are out of town during this workshop. If you go please send us a field report with photographs.
April 7th 2019
10 am to 4 pm – festival hours. Time of gumbo demonstration TBD.
