Lowcountry Cajun Festival Returns to James Island County Park on Saturday, April 9th
After a two year hiatus, the Lowcountry Cajun Festival returns this spring to James Island County Park on Saturday, April 9th from 12 pm to 6 pm.
Bringing Louisiana living to the Lowcountry, the Cajun Festival is a full-day of music straight from the bayou, plus Cajun and Creole foods, children’s activities and more. Local and regional restaurants, caterers, and food trucks will cook up a variety of foods including jambalaya, alligator, etouffee, andouille sausage, and of course, crawfish. Those who prefer a tamer menu will have the option to enjoy Lowcountry favorites, seafood, Southern barbecue, and traditional festival foods like turkey legs, ice cream, french fries, and more.
Festival-goers can also enjoy live, non-stop Zydeco and Cajun music performed on stage throughout the day. The 2022 Lowcountry Cajun Festival entertainment lineup is:
- 1 – 2:15 pm: Shrimp City Slim Swamp All-Stars
- 2:30 – 4 pm: Johnny Ace & Sidewalk Zydeco
- 4:30 – 6 pm: C.J. Chenier & the Red Hot Louisiana Band
Other festivities include a crafters’ market, souvenirs for sale, and a kids’ area featuring inflatables. Friends of Coastal Carolina will also present a program called “Who Calls the Swamp Home?” at 1 pm.
Admission to the Lowcountry Cajun Festival is $15 per person. The event is free for ages 12 and under with a paying adult. Current Gold Pass holders are also admitted free. Gold Passes will not be sold on site the day of the festival, but may be purchased in advance at CharlestonCountyParks.com. Credit cards are accepted at select locations but attendees are encouraged to bring cash for convenience purposes. New this year, food and beverages will be purchased directly from vendors and not through a ticket system, as was done in years past.
No coolers or outside alcohol permitted. Carpooling is highly encouraged. Pets are not permitted to this event. James Island County Park will be closed to regular park guests on April 9th in order to host the festival.
