Festival International de Louisiane celebrates both our diversity and the common human experience that binds us together.  This annual 5-day festival is held in historic Lafayette, Louisiana. Our beautiful downtown is transformed into an entertainment complex with six music stages, food courts, street musicians and animators, arts and crafts boutiques, art galleries, beverage stands, cultural workshops, international cooking demonstrations and a world music store. Festival International de Louisiane was voted Best World Music Festival by readers of about.com.
