CFMA’s Cajun Music & Food Fest In Lake Charles This Weekend
[KNGT-FM] -- The festival season in Southwest Louisiana is in full swing with four festivals coming your way in the next month. The first two on the calendar this weekend with the Coushatta Crossroads festival in Kinder, Louisiana, and the Cajun French Music Association's Cajun Music and Food Festival in Lake Charles.
The CFMA Festival is a traditional Cajun music festival featuring the old school sounds of the music. It is put on by the Lake Charles Chapter of the Cajun French Music Association (CFMA). It takes place every year on the third weekend in July at the Burton Coliseum in South Lake Charles.
The festival has been taking place for decades now and celebrates the culture, heritage, food, and language of the Cajun culture. The festival is actually in its 38th year, which means that is almost four decades that this fun festival has been taking place.
The festival is only a one-day festival and will take place inside the air-conditioned Burton Coliseum this Saturday, July 19, 2025. The doors will open at 8:00 am and run until 10:30 pm that night.
