Midtown Crossing’s Turner Park has been selected to host a uniquely-created, regional Zydeco Festival this summer. The one-of-a-kind festival will feature the finest and most treasured musical artists from throughout the New Orleans, Louisiana region.

Coming on the heels of last year’s successful Thursdays in the Park series, the Zydeco Festival will take over the Pavilion at Turner Park on Saturday, June 27 – a full day of music, Creole- and Cajun-style food and activities. Zydeco, itself, has evolved into a regular jambalaya of musical genres. Bluesy at its roots with that Creole influence, modern zydeco also incorporates R&B, soul, reggae and rock.

The Zydeco Festival is sponsored by Cox Communications. Element Omaha Midtown Crossing is the hotel sponsor. For more information visit www.midtowncrossing.com.
