Gloucester Cajun and Zydeco Festival

The Gloucester Cajun and Zydeco Festival is back, with a three-day line-up of performances, jam sessions and workshops guaranteed to once again pull in the crowds from far and wide in 2010.

Dubbed the UK’s number one event of its kind, the Gloucester Cajun and Zydeco Festival 2010 promises to be nothing short of a three-day, non-stop Louisiana party – with a host of acclaimed bands on the bill.

And while Gloucestershire residents are in for a real treat on their doorstep, the festival will once again see visitors from across the UK, Ireland, Germany, Holland, Belgium, France and the USA flock to our very own Gloucester Guildhall.
