In this special episode of AcadianaCasts Presents, we’re shining a spotlight on Paques In The Parc, an event that blends tradition, music, and community to celebrate Acadiana’s rich heritage. Organizers Dexter Ruffin and Keith Sonnier take us inside the festival’s heart and soul, where the age-old egg-cracking game of “paques” meets the infectious energy of Zydeco music at Vermilionville.
With performances from Horace Trahan, Gino DeLaFose, and Chubby Carrier, the festival honors the past while embracing the future. But Paques In The Parc is more than just music—it’s about family, connection, and keeping cultural traditions alive for generations to come. Tune in to hear how this event brings the community together in a way that’s uniquely Acadiana.
