Familia Festival Hosts Musical Guests, Cajun Fare, and Endless Entertainment

Woodland, CA, April 21, 2015 --(PR.com)-- The Familia Festival kicks off that summertime feeling with family, friends, culture and a variety of entertainment. Gather together on a Sunday afternoon filled with the sounds of musical guests Solsa, The Mike Torres Band and Los Elegantes. Shake things up with performances by the Mistura Brasileira Samba Dance Co. and the Yemaya Salsa Dance Company who both share a passion for the art of dance through samba and salsa. Stroll through the festival and see Upper Cut car club with their sleek rides on display, or stop by the bountiful marketplace full of local vendors selling a variety of handmade jewelry and merchandise. A kids’ zone with a bounce house, climbing wall and face painting activities will also be open to entertain all the youngsters. What family gathering would be complete without food? Bite into a combination of Latin and Cajun cuisines prepared to feed the masses. A trip down Gumbo Row with its dozens of flavor combinations is sure to satisfy anyone’s hunger for traditional Cajun fare prepared by Chef Trip Fuchs, a New Orleans native and owner of Bon Temps Creole in Sonoma County. Satisfy the palate with smoky chicken and Andouille sausage and red beans, or a variety of shrimp, crab, and gator. Even gluten-free gumbo is an option on Gumbo Row with lamb-sausage and okra. Plenty of barbecued eats will also be served, so visit the different vendor tents to sample ribs, wings and tri-tip, or grub on some fried catfish and shrimp. A full bar serves beer, wine and mixed drinks to 21-and-over. The Familia Festival is sponsored by Coors Light, Louisiana Sue Enterprises, Solsa Entertainment, BigJoeGarcia, Hinode Rice, the Yolo County Fair Foundation, Move Forward Inc. and more.
