Acadia Music Festival showcases local musicians in a one-day outdoor music festival on October 6, 2018. The festival will take place at the Acadia Plantation Town Center in Thibodeaux, Louisiana. Many of the proceeds from this event will benefit MAX Charter School, which is dedicated to educating children with dyslexia and learning disabilities. There will also be several art, food and merchandise vendors present.

Marc Broussard is a living melting pot of classic R&B, rock and soul with a contemporary twist. The son of a Louisiana Hall of Fame guitarist, Broussard grew up practicing music from a young age and now uses his talent to give back to the community. In 2016, he released the album Save Our Souls 2 and donated 50% of the profits to City of Refuge. Broussard is currently working on a third charitable covers record, which will be a lullaby album to accompany an illustrated children’s book in partnership with the Children’s Hospital in Baton Rouge. Broussard has opened for and shared the stage with Maroon 5, the Dave Matthews Band, Willie Nelson, O.A.R. and Bonnie Raitt. He will take the stage at 7:45 p.m.

The Molly Ringwalds is New Orleans premier 80’s tribute band that originally formed in Sheffield, England as Krush U.K. The Molly Ringwalds, an all-encompassing 80’s performance, will take the stage at 6 p.m.

Tickets to Acadia Music Festival are $35 in advance, $15 for children 12 and under and free for children 3 and under. This is a great opportunity to support local musicians and vendors, which in turn will support MAX Charter School.
