Proceeds from Tech Fest will be used to fund The Teche Center for the Arts, which will be housed in the old Dan Theatre. The Teche Center for the Arts will be the heart and soul of Breaux Bridge and St. Martin Parish by showcasing and preserving the area’s rich cultural, artistic, and musical heritage. Music, art, and cultural education will be a prime focus of the TCA, including lessons in Cajun and Creole French language. A fundraiser at Teche Fest will offer inscribed bricks and pavers for those who wish to contribute to the cause.
