There will also be great gifts and souvenirs for sell, including the Our Home Louisiana Seafood Cookbook, an interesting collection of recipes from local celebrity chefs and personalities. 100% of proceeds from the cookbook benefit Friends of the Fishermen and the Louisiana Seafood Festival Foundation.

Another feature of the Vieux To Do is the Cajun Zydeco Music Festival, which will be held on two stage venues with various bands playing throughout the weekend.

This weekend is sure to be packed with good food and good music and good fun for the whole family!
