Festival season is far from over. Festivals Acadiens et Créoles has just released its lineup for this year, so now's the time to shine your dancing shoes.

The Daiquiri Queens, Steve Riley & the Mamou Playboys, and Yvette Landry & the Jukes are a few of the big names who will be at this year's free festival, which is Oct. 11-13.

This year, Festivals Acadiens et Créolews is commemorating the role of women in Cajun and Creole music — and the 90th anniversary of "Jolie Blonde," a popular Cajun waltz that started as a 1929 song "Ma blonde est partie" by the Breaux Brothers.

"This year, we are celebrating all of these women, real and fictional, and their contributions to our musical history both on and off the stage,” Board President Barry Jean Ancelet said.

In 1974, CODOFIL organized the first Tribute to Cajun Music Festival, which has grown into Festivals Acadiens et Créoles. The festival was officially established in 1977 and has turned into a weekend full of music, food and crafts taking place during the second full weekend of October each year.

Keeping with tradition, Festivals Acadiens et Créoles will open with cutting of the boudin in Girard Park at 5 p.m. Five stages will be set up throughout Girard Park, with music starting Friday evening. On Saturday and Sunday, music will start at 10 a.m. and end when people stop dancing.
