From the free-flowing dances to the sing-along sessions, Renee spills the details on how these vibrant concerts bring together families, friends, and neighbors under the canopy of the square.
March 28th marks the calendar for the commencement of an eclectic lineup that promises to electrify your spring evenings. Imagine this: a tableau of happy faces lit by stage lights, the aroma of local food trucks' offerings wafting through the air, and the sounds of Nik L Beer, Spank the Monkey, and the Molly Ringwalds setting the stage for memory-making moments. Renee guides us through the must-see performances, including crowd favorites like Chubby Carrier and the Bayou Swamp Band, and teases the grand finale with Wayne Toups and Zydecajun.
