Festival Internationale de Louisiane, Apr. 23-25

This festival is held in Lafayette and truly one of its kind. There are bands from around the world (Dominican Republic, Belguim, Congo) who entertain 200,000+ for the weekend. It is one of my favorites and one I do not miss. Check out the website: http://www.festivalinternational.com/site1.php
Any of you interested in coming this way for this great festival and need a place to stay, let me know!:)
