What is the festival about and the history behind it? According to the Gueydan Duck Festival website,

The first festival was held in November of 1977 and has grown considerably each year. Held originally on blocked-off streets in Gueydan, the Duck Festival moved to its grounds in 1980 when the Atlantic-Richfield Company donated 7 acres to the Gueydan Duck Festival and the Vermilion Parish Police Jury.
Early in 1996, the Gueydan Duck Festival Association purchased a 10-acre tract of land adjacent to the existing festival grounds complete with lighting and metal buildings for all the festival activities.

Here is the entire three-day lineup.

So get ready for a fun-filled weekend with great music in the duck capital of the world, Gueydan, Louisiana. It's a family-friendly event for the entire family.
