40th Annual Cajun Music & Food FestivalEstablished in 1987, the Lake Charles Chapter of the Cajun French Music Association of Louisiana is committed to preserving the Cajun French language and culture through the expression of Cajun French music and the preparation of authentic Cajun foods. Our annual festival, held on the third weekend of July at Burton Coliseum, marks its 40th year this year. As part of our language preservation efforts, a minimum of 70% of the performances at our festival must be in traditional Cajun French. The music presented serves to introduce attendees to this unique musical form or reinforce their love for it. All food served is freshly prepared at the event using Cajun recipes passed down through generations. The
