Jo-El Sonnier will start playing his Cajun-style music on the Front Street Stage shortly after the last float of the Grand Parade rolls through Front Street. The concert is free! Click here to learn more about Jo-El Sonnier - It is a very informative video of an interesting man that has been called "The King of Cajun Music"!  I am so totally looking forward to hearing some good ole Cajun music.
