The 29th Annual Lowcountry Cajun Festival returns to James Island County Park on Sunday, April 5th, 2020 from noon to 6 pm.
This ragin' Cajun Festival features a full day of Zydeco music, authentic Cajun and Creole food, children's activities and more. Charleston's best Cajun restaurants, caterers and food trucks will cook up a variety of delicious foods like jambalaya, alligator, etouffee, andouille sausage, and of course, crawfish.
