BLACKPOT FESTIVAL AND COOKOFF
OCTOBER 26-27, 2012 NEAR LAFAYETTE, LA
The South Louisiana Blackpot Festival & Cookoff is one of the most unique festivals in Louisiana. Held annually at Lafayette’s Acadian Village, the festival celebrates its 5th year this October with two days of great music, dancing, food, camping & jamming. The festival is a cooperative of south Louisiana musicians, artists and southern culture enthusiasts, creating an unprecedented gathering of south Louisiana’s hottest roots bands, as well as a number of groups from all over the country. Live performances range from Cajun & Zydeco, to Creole, Swing, Hot Jazz, Blues, Bluegrass, Americana, Irish & Old-Time. Plus, an old-fashioned black pot cook-off, accordion contest, called square dancing, and ample camping space for tents & RV’s. As of this posting, their Website does not reflect correct 2012 dates which I have confirmed with promoter. It is a Friday-Saturday event, with many festival goers camping, socializing and playing music the entire week leading up to it. Website.
