I have hosted this festival since its inception back in 2010, and this year will be no different. I will be up on stage introducing the acts all day long, and it is my honor to do so. Being a Cajun myself, I love to help promote the culture, heritage, and language of Louisiana. This festival is so much fun, and I can't wait for this weekend. So who's playing?
