Expect to experience the best of SWLA with an exclusive crab tasting featuring ten of your favorite Lake Area restaurants with each of the crab dishes paired with an Abita beer to complement its local flavors. To top things off, zydeco legend Terrance Simien & the Zydeco Experience will perform at 6 p.m. with Skipper Drost & the Six Dollars a Day Band opening up the fest at 4 p.m. We will have over a dozen local artists displaying their work as well as many artisanal vendors selling handmade jewelry, Scentsy candles, and other crafts.
A $25 wristband allows you access to the festival and its crab/beer tasting, and only a limited number will be sold, so buy yours before we sell out! Wristbands can be purchased in person at the Arts Council office at Central School, over the phone at 439-ARTS, or online at www.artsandhumanitiesswla.org.
