Cycle Zydeco
March 27 - 30, 2008

Àllons manger...Àllons dancer...Àllons à Cycle Zydeco!

Cycle Zydeco is the annual Cajun/Creole Food and Cycling Festival featuring the food and music that has made this part of South Louisiana famous. This four-day, 200-mile ride is designed to be ridden at a moderate or leisurely pace in order to absorb the Cajun/Creole culture and food, enjoy the countryside's picture postcard views, and dance to toe-tappin' Cajun and Zydeco music.

In French Louisiana where the joie de vivre, or "love of life" spirit, is unparalleled in the United States, a traditional sports event like a bike tour is cause for celebration. Discover this unique pocket of the world that is steeped in the culture and heritage of French-speaking Cajuns and Creoles.
