The fourth annual Cajun & Creole Fest celebrated Louisiana culture with food, music, and dancing last month. Owner of Altha’s Cajun Store and organizer of the event Reginald Robinson expressed excitement over the growing attendance each year, sharing his love for authentic Southern experience that defined his history and passions.

Robinson’s goal is to bring the genuine and distinct culture of Louisiana to Washington. Attendees and participants of the event originating from Louisiana excitedly discussed the significant Cajun community and the opportunity the festival provides to share their culture's food, music, and hospitality with locals, while keeping the good times rolling.

Musicians from the South were brought in, aiming to share the energy and traditions of growing up in Louisiana with their Pacific Northwest community. Setting the energy high was the Elegance Drill Team, whose spirit highlighted the importance of such community events, especially for those who seek a gathering place and a chance to reconnect with their Cajun roots.
