Long Beach Bayou Festival, June 23-25, 2006

Down in the Bayou
A mix of authentic Cajun and Zydeco bands, Creole food, and craft vendors take over the Queen Mary for the annual Long Beach Bayou Festival. From Friday through Sunday, families can enjoy non-stop music, dancing, and eating at the events park next to the historic luxury liner. New this year is The French Quarter, a recreated version of New Orleans' famous Bourbon Street, where most of the activities take place. Tickets can be purchased at the gate or on-line; an on-line ticket purchase discount is available through June 22.
