Festival program 2012

 The Cajun and Zydeco Festival of Pontchartrain will take place from  25 to 27 May 2012.
Foyer rural of Pontchartrain
in front of Place Foch
 Further to the hospitalization of a member of the group ZydeGonutz, this last one cannot occur as it had been advisable.
All the team of the festival wishes a quick restoring to our friend and we make an appointment with them in 2014.
We thank warmly the group Front Row Zydeco for having replaced "at a moment's notice" the group initially scheduled.

Cowboys ‘n Cajuns: Jimmie Meaux

Even the horses smile when Jimmie Meaux whispers to them. 
Out on the prairies of Vermilion Parish, Jimmie heads them up and moves
