This free, family-friendly celebration will feature live music, local food vendors, activities for all ages, and a spectacular fireworks display to close out the evening. Kicking off the event will be Louisiana favorite DJ Digital, bringing high-energy entertainment to start the festivities. Headlining the night is acclaimed Louisiana singer-songwriter Marc Broussard, known for his soulful blend of rock, blues, funk, and Cajun influences. Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets and enjoy an evening of music, community, and patriotic celebration under the stars. The event will conclude with an exciting fireworks display, lighting up the Youngsville sky.
Admission is free and open to the public.
Cite des Arts offers barbecue and cheap beer at a July 4 perforance of “POTUS, or Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive” by Selina Filinger. The play runs June 26th, 27th, July 3rd and 4th (join us for our July 4th BBQ and cheap beer), at 7:30 p.m., and June 28 and July 5th at 2:00 p.m. at Cité des Arts, 109 Vine Street in downtown Lafayette. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased at www.citedesarts.org [citedesarts.org].
Here's how they describe the play: "One four-letter word is about to rock 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. When the President unwittingly spins a PR nightmare into a global crisis, the seven brilliant and beleaguered women he relies upon most risk life, liberty, and the pursuit of sanity to keep the commander-in-chief out of trouble. This play carries an R rating, and is for mature audiences, as it contains strong language and adult situations. “POTUS” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. (www.concordtheatricals.com [concordtheatricals.com])"
VERMILION PARISH
