The Creole Heritage Zydeco & Crawfish Festival was founded in 2004 as a fundraiser for Our Mother of Mercy Catholic School, located in the Fifth Ward of Houston. The first festival was held at Jones Plaza located downtown Houston: there were five bands invited to perform with over 3,000 people in attendance. Over the next three year the festival moved around throughout Houston, finally settling
in Baytown, Texas, 20 minutes east of Houston.
The festival has attracted some 20,000 people from all over the country, including Louisiana, Colorado, California, Georgia, Massachusetts, and, yes, of course, Texas. Also, the festival has raised over $75,000 for inner city Catholic schools like Our Mother of Mercy and St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Schools.
This venue has hosted performers such as: Josh & the Zydeco Soulja's; Zydeco Joseph & the H-Town Players; Step Rideau & the Zydeco Outlaws; Curtis Poullard & the Creole Zydeco Band; Andre Theirry & Zydeco Majic; Jeffrey Broussard & the Creole Cowboys; Pine Leaf Boys Blues de Muisicien; Lil' Guyland Ledet; C.J. Chenier & The Red Hot Louisiana Band; Brian Jack & the Zydeco Gamblers; J. Paul, Jr. & Zydeco Nubreedz; Jeremy & the Zydeco Hot Boys; Leroy Thomas & the Zydeco Roadrunners; La La Wilson; Roddie Romero & the Hub City All Stars; Keith Frank & the Soileau Zydeco Band; Wayne Toups & Zydecajun; Marcus Ardoin & Da Zydeco Legends; Chris Ardoin & NuStep; Lil' Nathan & the Zydeco Big Timers; Leon Chavis & the Zydeco Flames; Geno Delafose & French Rockin' Boogie; Travis Matte & the Kingpins; Curley Taylor & Zydeco Trouble; T Broussard & the Zydeco Steppers; and Mona Zydeco Queen Wilson, Zydeco dance lessons instructor.
