50th annual Festivals Acadiens et Creoles marks a half-century of honoring and celebrating the culture through music, arts, food and community.
What started as a one day concert in 1974 to entertain 150 French -speaking journalists gathered in Lafayette .
Festival co-founder Pat Mould said the festival is a “self-celebration of who we are, how we live, what we eat, the music and how we speak”.
Riley said when he first started there weren't too many young bands playing Cajun music.
“There was real fear that the music would die off and dissipate like the language," he said.
Riley said more young folks are preserving and playing this music than ever.
The Zydeco scene down here is packed with young people, Riley said.
