Let the good times roll at this year’s annual Florida Cajun-Zydeco Festival to be held November 11 – 13 at Seminole Paradise at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. This year’s celebration of all things Cajun, Creole and Zydeco is celebrating its return to South Florida at the ever-popular place to play.
Live music will be continuous on two stages with authentic Cajun and Zydeco music jam-packed with outstanding talented performers and ample dancing on a giant wooden dance floor. Featured performers include Rosie Ledet and the Zydeco Playboys, Geno Delafose and French Rockin’ Boogie, Feufollet, The Magnolia Sisters, The Savoy Family Band, C’est Bon Cajun Dance Band, Cedric Watson and Bijou Creole and Kevin Naquin and the Ossun Playboys will keep guests dancing throughout the weekend.
And of course, the party would not be complete without plenty of hot ‘n’ spicy Cajun and Creole specialties such as red beans and rice with andouille sausage, boiled crawfish and piping hot gumbo, to name a few. A Kid’s Kingdom and arts and crafts vendors will provide additional activity throughout the festival.
The Florida Cajun-Zydeco Festival is produced by Bobby Rodriguez Productions, organizer of the award- winning Florida Renaissance Festival and VIVA Broward! and is sponsored by the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Rick Case Automotive group, Budweiser, BrightStar Credit Union, Crystal Springs, Comcast and the Sun-Sentinel.

We are now proud to be a part of its legacy.”
