Sonny Landreth at Festival International 25th Anniversary - Lafayette, Louisiana
The annual 5-day festival is held during the last full week of April. Historic downtown Lafayette, Louisiana, is transformed into an entertainment complex featuring six music stages, food court areas, street musicians and animators, arts and crafts boutiques, art galleries, beverage stands, cultural workshops, international cooking demonstrations and a world music store. Festival International was founded in 1986 to promote Louisiana's French cultural heritage, presenting bands from France, French Canada, Africa, the Caribbean, as well as, to a lesser degree, other heritage elements, such as Latin and Anglo-Saxon.
