Cajun & Creole Fest

Spice up your taste buds and experience the soul of Louisiana in the Pacific Northwest.

Dance, dine, and have a ragin’ Cajun good time where Southern culture and hospitality turn historic downtown Kent into our own “Little Louisiana”!

Live music and dancing will keep festival-goers entertained throughout the day, with performances by Cajun and Zydeco bands. It’s a perfect opportunity for locals and visitors to experience the vibrant and lively culture of Louisiana, Cajun and Creole themed food trucks, beer/wine garden, vendors/artists, and activities for the kids. We promise a feast for the senses!

This FREE family event will be held in downtown Kent Burlington Green Park. What to bring New Orleans-style costumes are encouraged! Bring folding chairs and blankets to spread out on the grass while you enjoy the music–and don’t forget your sunscreen.

Music line up All the way from Sunset, Louisiana, Grammy Award winning Curley Taylor and Zydeco Trouble will headline this year’s festival. If they can’t get you jammin’ then no one can! We’re thrilled to welcome Bayou Envie back to the stage for their 5th consecutive year, bringing their signature high energy performance. The popular Second Line Parade will come alive with the America First Corp Band, whose unmatched energy and spirit will lead the crowd into the streets for another unforgettable parade.
