School of Music: Held annually in August or September, this four-evening program allows for one-on-one and small group instruction in accordion, fiddle and guitar with some of the top musicians Louisiana has to offer. Past Schools have featured Steve Riley & The Mamou Playboys and The Pine Leaf Boys.

Routes to Roots Workshop Series: Throughout the year we present great workshops covering a broad spectrum of topics. Our workshops may be performance or presentation-based, instruction-based, discussion-based, hands-on or some combination of all of the above.

Louisiana Folk Roots at Lafayette's Festival International de Louisiane on the Scène Heritage. Our presentations at this tremendous event feature many of the festival's artists.

You'll also find us at Festivals Acadiens et Créoles: We're a major feature at this amazing festival held each October at Girard Park in Lafayette. Look for our big Jam Tent and our Scène Atelier where we present workshops/performances featuring many of the festival's artists.
