Acadiana. For the past two years, we have had the pleasure of photographing this amazing event. And for the past two years I can say that this Festival is valuable. So many people come from all over the world to enjoy our tastes, our happiness, and our amazing culture in Acadiana. Anyone can stand just about anywhere on Girard Park and capture a moment. There are very few times that you will not find a reason to be inspired the entire weekend. Preserving Cajun & French beautiful is what the celebration here is all about. Join the party this weekend at Girard Park!

Louisiana continues to win awards for food, being tasty, and being happy. In my opinion, Festival Acadiens et Creoles is one of those amazing reasons why.
