Zydeco dance is very easy to learn. There is normally a lesson and dance every 2nd and 4th Saturdays. You can also see a free online lesson is at http://www.ZydecoLesson.com.

If you happen to know other styles of dance such as Swing or Salsa, you can incorporate these moves into Zydeco dance as well once you learn the basics of Zydeco

David Sousa

The Crawfish Festival will be held May 16-18, 2025 at the spacious green park - Fountain Valley Sports Park in Fountain Valley, California (right off the 405 Frwy. @Brookhurst).

New Orleans’ most exquisite flavors are heading out West to fill up the world’s largest crawfish pots. These crimson-colored, freshwater crustaceans are undoubtedly the stars of this festival. They're more tender than lobsters and have a unique flavor. Master Chefs will prepare true, Louisiana-style crawfish along with Cajun potatoes, corn on the cob, and tangy remoulade dipping sauce. If you are hungry, you can indulge yourself with our 35lbs./45lbs. Crawfish Boils and Crawfish and Jumbo Shrimp Boils.

Dance to rousing music and join the Second Line Dancing Parade a historical New Orleans tradition where people dance with a celebratory spirit. Live entertainment mixes the best Cajun, Zydeco, and New Orleans-style music (Grammy Winner and Hall of Famer Chubby Carrier, Grammy Winner Dwayne Dopsie, Grammy Nominated Andre Thierry and more) and includes Zydeco dance lessons regularly throughout the day.

We combine tons of fresh live crawfish prepared Louisiana style by an authentic master chef in the world's largest crawfish pots, international food court featuring a wide selection of New Orleans’s most iconic dishes (frog legs, catfish, gumbo, jambalaya, red beans and rice, bread pudding...), Café du Monde-style chicory coffee and beignets,

FREE E-Souvenir Photo to capture your NOLA experience, unleash your creativity at the Jackson Square DIY NOLA Mad Hatter workshop, carnival rides and games, live sports tent, second stage with magic and illusion shows as seen on America's Got Talent (Sat/Sun), an exclusive VIP Lounge, Karaoke Lounge with a Live Band (on Friday and Saturday night),

Tequila/Whiskey tasting experience by El Baston del Rey, themed bayou bars featuring our infamous signature drink — "Screaming Crawfish" to create the largest Crawfish Festival outside of Louisiana, right here in Southern California.
