Please keep checking back for the latest updated information as the 2012 Festevents Season begins!! 

 Norfolk's annual "second line" with New Orleans' special spirit and unique culture takes place Thursday, June 21 - Sunday, June 24, 2012 at Town Point Park on the downtown Norfolk, Virginia waterfront. The 23rd Annual AT&T Bayou Boogaloo & Cajun Food Festival delivers the heart and soul of Louisiana to visitors of Town Point Park in true Cajun style.  

From New Orleans to Norfolk, two stages featuring national recording artists provide musical entertainment for the weekend. Also on hand will be many local New Orleans musicians and artists who are sure to get your hands clapping, feet two-steppin' and heart pumping throughout the weekend.

No Bayou celebration would be complete without the mouthwatering Cajun delicacies prepared by authentic Louisiana inspired chefs.  Festival guests are in for a real treat as they feast on fresh crawfish straight from Louisiana, jambalaya, gumbo, etouffee, alligator, muffuletta, andouille, and beignets. Guests will also find festival favorites like sno balls (discovered in New Orleans, by the way!), root beer floats, smoothies, Italian water ice,

glazed nuts, kettle korn and funnel cake. Wash it all down with a variety of cold beverages including a fine selection of beers straight from New Orleans' own Abita Brewing Company as well as New Orleans-born Southern Comfort Hurricanes.  

The Bayou Boogaloo would not be complete without the talent, unique artistry and culture found at the New Orleans Art Gallery!  For the seventh consecutive year, the Arts Council of New Orleans and Norfolk Festevents hand-pick the most unique and one-of-a-kind artists from Louisiana to share their stories, culture and craft.  This year, over 24 artists in various mediums including art, jewelry and sculpture will be on site displaying their works.
