This year's entertainment lineup is huge, with not one but two big national acts performing at the festival. American Idol finalist and Louisiana boy John Foster will hit the stage, followed by their headliner, Riser House Entertainment country music recording artist Dillion Carmichael, on Saturday night.

John Foster was on this year's season of American Idol and made it to the finale, finishing second in the competition. Since then, he has been touring all over the country, and is making a stop right here in Lake Charles. Here are all of John's performances on the show.
