Saturdays at the Prairie Acadian Cultural Center

Music, dancing, food, and crafts: come pass a good time any Saturday at the Prairie Acadian Cultural Center.

Every Saturday from 3:00-6:00 p.m., the center hosts folklife demonstrations that range from spinning and weaving to musical instrument making to dance lessons. At 3:00 p.m., it's time for Cajun music and dancing, with center volunteers on hand to teach a dance step or two. At 4:00 p.m., cooking demonstrations share local secrets for the perfect gumbo or etouffee.

At 6:00 p.m., head next door to the Liberty Theatre for an evening of live Cajun and zydeco music at Rendex-vous des Cajuns. Ticket and program information for the show is available at 337-457-7389.
