The House Resolution commends the Zydeco Extravaganza and its organizers as they celebrate their thirty-fifth anniversary. This annual event, held in Lafayette, Louisiana, honors the vibrant Louisiana Creole culture, particularly in the Acadiana region. Since its inception in May 1987 by the Cravins family, the Zydeco Extravaganza has grown to become the largest one-day Zydeco festival in the world, featuring live performances, an amateur accordion contest, Creole cuisine, and family-friendly activities. The festival has showcased numerous prominent Zydeco artists, contributing significantly to the preservation and revitalization of this cultural heritage.

The resolution recognizes the Zydeco Extravaganza's role in attracting visitors from around the globe each Memorial Day weekend and highlights its origins as an extension of local media efforts by the Cravins brothers. The House of Representatives expresses its highest appreciation for the event's impact over the past thirty-five years and extends best wishes for its continued success and prosperity in the future.
