“This is a good time if you like dancing and passing a good time,” Jeff Davis Arts Council Director Tesha Oneillion said. “We always try to give people something new to experience and bring some entertainment to the community.”

This year’s musical lineup kicks off on April 4 with Jamie Bergeron and The Kickin’ Cajuns, followed by Straight Whiskey on April 11.

Colby Latiolais and Ambush take the stage on April 18 with T.J. Gautreaux on April 25 and Leroy Thomas on May 2. Ground Zero closes out the series on May 9.

“We always try to provide a variety of different acts and music that we think the community will enjoy,” she said.

Those attending are invited to bring lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy the evening. Ice chests will be allowed, but no glass containers.

Youth groups will be selling food and the Garden Club will be selling popcorn.

The event is presented by the Jeff Davis Arts Council, Jennings Festival Association and Joy LeBleu.
