The Chauvin Folk Art Festival is a FREE event held in conjunction with the historical Blessing of the Fleet, the semi-annual boat parade along Bayou Little Caillou. This year's musical entertainment featured contemporary Cajun rock by Mellowberry, toe-tapping Swamp Pop with Treater, and the classic Cajun sounds of Lost Bayou Ramblers.
