dat zydeco fest is back
Y'all, we had a ball at the inaugural Dat Zydeco Fest in 2025. Zydeco fans traveled from Texas, Mississippi, and of course, across Louisiana.
Join us on Saturday, March 21, at The Broadside New Orleans for the second annual Dat Zydeco Fest. Doors will open at 4 p.m.
Festival co-founders and Zydeco brothers, Sean and Chris Ardoin, and vanguard J. Paul Jr. are scheduled to perform. The final artist lineup will be announced soon.
