Congrès mondial acadien 2019 Promotional Tour in Louisiana and New England
The 6th edition of the Congrès mondial acadien will be held on Prince Edward Island and in Southeastern New Brunswick from August 10–24, 2019. It will mark the 25th anniversary of the event. In order to better publicize the event, a delegation from the host region will travel to the United States at the end of April. Members of the delegation will be attending the Festival International de Louisiane, which is being held in Lafayette from April 25–29. The following week, they will give a few public presentations in New England, where many Acadians and friends of Acadie reside.
Information-rich cultural programming will be delivered, and the culminating point of the week will be the show put on by the CMA 2019 on the Festival’s biggest stage, right before the closing show. The “Congrès mondial acadien 2019 Kitchen Party” will feature nine artists and groups from the Maritimes, Quebec and Louisiana, who were already taking part in this year’s Festival.
