With Cajun Heritage Festival a week away, we’re excited to announce three FREE screenings of the award winning documentary, Roots of Fire!

In @rootsoffire a group of musicians honor the rich history and cultural legacy of Cajun music. The genre's contemporary scene in Louisiana has found mainstream success with Grammy Award nominations and wins, but shuttering venues and aging fans leave some questioning the music’s longevity. Featuring electrifying performances, this vibrant documentary examines the intersection between music and preserving tradition for future generations.

Show Times at the Museum of the Gulf Coast, Friday Mar 31:

- 10 am
- 12 pm
- 2 pm
