Zydeco Music Festival

Temecula, CA - Sep 14, 2010 The first annual Zydeco Music Festival is an outdoor event happening in Temecula on Sunday, September 19, 2010 from noon to nine pm. This special event benefits local non-profits and coincides with the grand opening of Simply Sharon's Restaurant, a new restaurant featuring home-style American Comfort and Creole/Cajun Cuisine.

The festival is a family-friendly event with pre-sale tickets only costing $10 for adults with up to 4 kids FREE with purchase by calling (951) 308-0016. The band line-up features an eclectic mix of Gospel, Zydeco and Jazz music performed by some of the best area musicians. A big dance floor will host free dance lessons for the first 1/2 hour with dancing continuing into the evening.

This event is a celebration of Louisiana food, music and culture. After initially planning on featuring Zydeco music alone, the musical direction of the festival was broadened to include other "Louisiana" music such as Jazz and Gospel. Over the last few months, Simply Sharon's has developed into an exciting music venue with delicious home-style cooking. Local musicians as well as jazz stars frequent the restaurant as both patrons and performers.

The Zydeco Music Festival brings tremendous entertainment value to the community while benefiting local non-profits like The Oak Grove Center, Jacobs House and Arc Mid-Cities. At a time when the economy forces many people to curtail family outings, this low-cost event allows families to enjoy a day of live music for significantly less money than a trip to the movies.
