All weekend long you can hear the sound of authentic Cajun, Zydeco, and Swamp Pop music rising from the festival. Whether your musical taste is Cajun or Creole, you can witness over 30 bands perform over the three-day event if you think you have the stamina. It\u2019s a perfect opportunity to see our musical tradition passed from generation to generation. Watch the Cajun dance contests, and if you\u2019re brave, join in. There\u2019s no better way to learn. There are even Cajun music workshops held in the heritage tent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">If Cajun or Creole music excites you, there\u2019s no better place to experience it than at the Crawfish Festival!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">Source: <em><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/bbcrawfest.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Breaux Bridge Crawfish Festival<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The world-famous Crawfish Festival began in 1960 as a spin-off of the Breaux Bridge Centennial Celebration.
