They'll conclude their performance with second-line dancing by the Medina Lake Second Line Dancers sponsored by Karen Ripley RealEstate Management.
Then will follow big-name Louisiana Cajun bands including Bruce Daigrepont Cajun Band from New Orleans, LA and Rodney Thibodeaux & Tout Les Soir from Baton Rouge, LA.
Entertainment on the Gazebo Stage will include Les Flammes de Rouge from San Antonio, Jean-Pierre Blanchard and the Zydeco Angels originally from Nice, France and Cedryl Ballou and the Zydeco Trendsetters.

Bruce Daigrepont Cajun Band Returning to the festival will be the Bruce Daigrepont Cajun Band for their fifth appearance in Lakehills. Cajun songwriter, accordionist, and bandleader Bruce Daigrepont describes his style of music as "new traditional Cajun." The band is comprised of accordion, fiddle, and a tight rhythm section and they mix traditional Louisiana French music with original Cajun and Zydeco material. No two Bruce Daigrepont concerts are ever the same because Daigrepont doesn't have a "set list" for what they play. He has a floating repertoire of more than 200 songs which he selects at will on stage. That repertoire consists of traditional Cajun waltzes, two-steps, fiddle reels, deep blues, swamp pop, Zydeco, and R&B.
