Port Arthur, Texas Hosting Cajun Music Festival

Real Cajun music is heading to Southeast Texas for a day full of live entertainment, dancing, food, and fun. The 9th Annual Cajun Heritage Fest is headed to Port Arthur, Texas, and will be stacked with great entertainment.

The festival's mission is to promote the Cajun culture and all that encompasses it. The festival will feature great food from award-winning vendors and plenty of things and activities for the children to do like participate in the crawfish races at the festival.
