Midtown Crossing’s Turner Park has been selected to host a uniquely-created, regional Zydeco Festival this summer. The one-of-a-kind festival will feature the finest and most treasured musical artists from throughout the New Orleans, Louisiana region.
“Zydeco is best described as an ‘auditory party.’ Once the music starts and those accordions start firing, it’ll be almost impossible to not start dancing,” said Molly Skold, Midtown Crossing’s vice president of marketing and communications.
Coming on the heels of last year’s successful Thursdays in the Park series, the Zydeco Festival will take over the Pavilion at Turner Park on Saturday, June 27 – a full day of music, Creole- and Cajun-style food and activities. Zydeco, itself, has evolved into a regular jambalaya of musical genres. Bluesy at its roots with that Creole influence, modern zydeco also incorporates R&B, soul, reggae and rock.
The Zydeco Festival is sponsored by Cox Communications. Element Omaha Midtown Crossing is the hotel sponsor.
“We are excited to be sponsoring Omaha’s first Zydeco Festival,” said Kim Rowell, Vice President and Omaha Market Leader for Cox Communications. “We think it will be a great opportunity to celebrate summer in Omaha by joining with family and friends to enjoy a fun-filled and unique music experience.”
“Southwest Louisiana rhythms meet Midtown Omaha hospitality,” said Amanda Sampino, Element’s general manager. “We’re excited to welcome guests from around the region and help them rest and recharge after a fabulous day of dancing, eating and enjoying.”
