====Other festivals outside Louisiana====
* In Texas, the Winnie Rice Festival and other celebrations often highlight the Cajun influence in [[Southeast Texas]].
* The {{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20170430013154/http://www.cajunheritagefest.com/ Cajun Heritage Fest]}} in [[Port Arthur, Texas]] celebrates Cajun music and cuisine and features events such as a crawfish eating contest and crawfish racing.
* Major Cajun/Zydeco festivals are held annually in Rhode Island, which does not have a sizable Cajun population, but is home to many Franco-Americans of Québécois and Acadian descent. It features Cajun culture and food, as well as authentic Louisiana musical acts both famous and unknown, drawing attendance not only from the strong Cajun/Zydeco music scene in Rhode Island, [[Connecticut]], New York City, and California, but also from all over the world. In recent years, the festival became so popular, now several such large summer festivals are held near the Connecticut–Rhode Island border: The Great Connecticut Cajun and Zydeco Music & Arts Festival, The Blast From The Bayou Cajun and Zydeco Festival, also in California the Cajun/Zydeco Festival; Bay Area Ardenwood Historic Farm, Fremont, Calif. and The Simi Valley Cajun and Blues Music Festival.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.simicajun.org|title=Happy Face Music Festival 2024 – Simi Valley, CA}}</ref>
