Cajun & Classic Country Week (Summer Heritage Workshops)
Augusta’s Cajun and Classic Country Weeks
July 7-12, 2024
Escape the ordinary with an exhilarating week of music and dance at Augusta’s Classic Country, Cajun & Creole Week. This week, you can choose from daytime classes offered in Cajun & Creole music (fiddle, accordion, guitar, vocals and more) and Classic Country music. You have the freedom to create the perfect schedule for yourself from the offerings in both those genres. Don’t wear yourself out too much during the day, though, because the evenings are truly electric this week, filled with world-class concerts, soul-stirring dances and the not-to-be-missed gumbo feast night, “Fais Do Do.”
Folk Arts for Kids will give participants (ages 5 to 11) a chance to explore craft, nature, music and dance in a fun and immersive environment.
A selection of Craft workshops for teens and adults are also available, with more being added soon.
Do you want to get just a taste of Augusta after work? Sign up for an Evening Mini-Class to get 4 nights of instruction with a world-class instructor. If you get the event pass, too, you can join us for all of the week’s dances and concerts in the evening as well. You can sleep next week…

hello! can I register to just attend all the dances during the week?
thanks!
The easiest ways to just attend dances are to purchase a guest pass for the week (which gets you into non-class events such as dances and concerts) or to purchase tickets at the door of each dance. Thanks!
When does registration for this open? Thanks
Registrations will open February 1!

Will there be Zydeco dance classes at the Cajun Creole week please?
Hi Margaret,
While there will not be classes on Zydeco Dancing there will be a Zydeco dance during the week that is a great experience for beginners and experienced dancers!
Best,
