\nDust off your dancin\u2019 shoes and get ready for Midtown Crossing\u2019s sixth-annual Zydeco Festival. Back by popular demand, this crowd-pleasing, foot-stompin\u2019, free event is the only festival of its kind in the region and takes place in Omaha\u2019s most iconic, scenic outdoor venue \u2013 Turner Park.
\nThis year\u2019s day-long celebration connects you to the Creole culture, bringing you high energy Zydeco music from local and southern artists playing their fiddles, accordions, guitars and even their washboards. Omaha\u2019s local favorite, The Prairie Gators will be kicking off the day, getting the party started. Headliner Rosie Ledet and the Zydeco Gs will be kicking things up a notch and giving fans a true taste of authentic Zydeco music.
\nWith the NEW Grab & Go Zydeco, splurge on fan-favorite, southern-style dishes like muffuletta pizza, Cajun tacos and jambalaya. And take advantage of Turner Park\u2019s NEW Beer Garden on the Farnam Patio, encompassing Smokin\u2019 Oak, Pa Mas, Proof and Ray\u2019s. Grab a friend and relax outdoors, on the patio, with a cool beverage. It\u2019s an afternoon you\u2019ve been waiting for, right in the heart of Omaha.
\nThis festival is free, open to the public, and as always, family- and dog-friendly \u2013 and perfect for friends, co-workers and families. See Less
