Chicago Associate Chapter of the Cajun French Music Association

Welcome!

We are very excited to announce the formation of the Chicago associate chapter of the Cajun French Music Association, the premier body for the promotion of Cajun music and culture. This is the first chapter to be formed outside of Louisiana and Texas. We're still setting up shop, but already looking ahead to hosting and sponsoring events, and helping to bring musicians up to Chicago's legendary music scene. We need your help! By joining our chapter, you will be helping us to increase the opportunities to listen and dance to the music of Louisiana, learn about its culture, and share this wonderful treasure with friends.

Please visit the links to the left to learn more about the CFMA, and how to join our chapter. You can also find Monica's Chicagoland Cajun event list, previously only available by email.

We're still in the early stages of setting up this website, so check back often for future additions. You can contact us by following the "Contact" link to the left, or simply by sending email to info@chicagocajuns.org.

Please feel free to read or sign our guestbook.
