\nPresented by San Diego\u2019s Bon Temps Social Club, the festival annually hosts more than 17,000 visitors of all ages and backgrounds.
\n“This festival is the best way to experience the rich and exciting culture of Louisiana, aside from actually being there, of course,” said Al Gardner, president of The Bon Temps Social Club of San Diego.
\nSince the first festival in 2001, which focused heavily on the Louisiana sound with Zydeco and Cajun bands, the festival\u2019s lineup has grown to include a wide variety of musical genres with both local and visiting musicians.
\nThe Zydeco and Cajun artists hail from a noble legacy of American music, originating from the bayous of southwest Louisiana and the descendants of African and Caribbean immigrants. Blues acts include a wide range of blues styles from deep-rooted Delta and Chicago Blues to lively jump, jive and boogie-woogie offerings. Also on stage is a great sampling of regional and visiting bands performing gypsy jazz, salsa, western swing, rockabilly, bluegrass and traditional country.
