|  |  The Swamp FestivalThe annual Swamp Festival takes over Audubon Zoo for a celebration of all things Cajun. Three music stages present the finest in Cajun and zydeco sounds from Louisiana artists, and homage is also paid to the Swamp itself.Foodies are especially well looked-after - authentic Cajun cuisine ranging from fried alligator, boudin and couchon de lait to catfish po-boys, fried okra and cracklins can be sampled. Food vendors come from all over Louisiana to participate (and don't worry, they'll explain what the menu means if you don't understand).
Arts and crafts such as Louisiana mud paintings, watercolour lifestyle renderings, fish print rubbings and woven cypress baskets are for sale throughout the zoo. |
