The 20th Dewey Balfa Cajun & Creole Heritage Week will take place March 20-25, 2023, in Eunice, Louisiana.  Highlights include top-notch Louisiana-style entertainment, education, and hospitality with public and enrollment-based activities. Balfa Week is an inclusive cultural immersion experience centered around an adult-oriented music camp for advancing skills in Louisiana-style Cajun/Zydeco guitar, fiddle, accordion, rhythm/percussion, French-language vocals, Cajun and Zydeco dance, food preparation, and folk traditions.  At Balfa Week, you can learn knee-to-knee with master musicians and culture bearers surrounded by great folks from across the globe. Louisiana-style meals are included with Full-time or Part-time camp registrations. It’s an incredibly immersive experience, complete with some late-night music jam camaraderie and hospitality.
