The 2009 Schedule
Program & Performers Subject to Change
It appears that the
Sunrise Resort in Moodus is being sold to the state of
Connecticut and their annual Cajun/Zydeco Festival will not
be taking place in 2009. We wish the Johnson family the
best, and thank them for helping to make eastern Connecticut
a Cajun/Zydeco destination each June.

We are proud
to host our 13th annual festival featuring the best music,
food and dancing from the bayous and cities of Louisiana.
Our large wooden dance floors at two separate venues
(including our newest dance floor in front of the main
stage) offer plenty of room to dance to the bands and learn
all the right moves from our dance instructors. A campsite
with water, electric and cable TV is $150 from anytime
Thursday through 6PM on Sunday, ($174 for w/e/c and sewer).
Each campsite reservation must be for at least 2 adults,
with no additional charge for children under 13 (festival
passes for teenagers 13-17 are ½ price). Please note that
campsites for this weekend are ONLY available for festival
attendees, and all members of your camping party who are 13
and older must purchase a festival pass (1/2 price for
teenagers 13-17). Adult festival camper passes are $95 per
person (ages 18 & over) until June 1 ($115 per adult after
June 1 and at the gate—1/2 price for teenagers 13-17), and
include free Camping in the Rough (no ground fires,
generators or pets allowed, and no hook-ups or picnic tables
provided). Day Visitor passes may be purchased in advance
(reduced rate), or at the gate (cash only). Authentic Cajun
and Creole cuisine will be served for sale by professional
food vendors. If you are reserving for both our Bluegrass
Festival (May 28-31) & Cajun/Zydeco, please call early, as
campsites fill quickly ($10 discount off site fee for Cajun
Weekend if reserving for both weekends).
Please read our
cancellation policy
carefully regarding any site or rental cancellation. NOTE:
There is NO REFUND for any festival passes purchased.
Campsite fees are for entire extended weekend of 9AM
Thursday until Sunday 6PM (minimum of 2 paid adult festival
