Join us Friday, August 7, at San Damiano Park in Monona for our annual summer concert. 

This year, we’re partnering with The Collaboration Project to host The Cajun Strangers, an award-winning Madison-based band that has been playing traditional Cajun and Zydeco dance music for over twenty years. Formed in 2001, they specialize in traditional Southwest Louisiana sounds—two-steps, waltzes, and blues—featuring accordion, fiddle, guitar, and vocals in Cajun French.

Watch and listen to The Cajun Strangers here -> THE CAJUN STRANGERS on PBS

Doors open at 5 p.m., and food trucks will be available then. You may also bring your own food.

Come to hear from one of the Midwest’s premier Cajun music bands and stay for the dancing, yard games, food trucks, and community.
