One of the more popular spring festivals is Bayou Boogaloo on the banks of Bayou St. John in mid-city. Au pairs enjoyed zydeco music, food and the art market where they spied many beautiful items to admire and a few to purchase (on au pair’s budget).

Zydeco is a musical genre evolved in southwest Louisiana by French Creole speakers which blends Cajun music, blues and rhythm and blues.
