The most famous music venue in Cajun country, built into the back porch of an old guesthouse a few blocks south of downtown. The Blue Moon hosts Cajun, zydeco, blues, and Americana acts most nights of the week. The covered porch dance floor accommodates maybe forty people; you will be sweaty and stepping on someone else's feet by the third song.
Free dance lessons before some shows. The Wednesday-night Cajun jam — anyone can sit in — is one of the more authentic experiences in Louisiana. Cover charge is modest and the beer is cold.
