As most of you locals know, years ago, Panama City Beach had a Cajun fest named the Hamilton's Cajun Fest and it was a great festival. So successful, it outgrew it's location and who knows why, but just disappeared.

Emerald Coast Events is resurrecting the festival in all its Spicy Cajun Zest and Appeal...Combine a mixture of Cajun and Creole music and this equals Zydeco... Add some fresh boiled Crawfish, Gumbo or Shrimp Jambalaya, throw in a cold beverage combined with some great times and you've created a recipe for a true Southwest Louisiana Cajun Fest.

SINCE 1990, THE SAUCE BOSS HAS FED OVER 148,000 PEOPLE, ALL FOR FREE while he plays his own swampy Florida blues. A Sauce Boss event transcends performance. It's a soul-shouting picnic of rock & roll brotherhood, involving everyone. And at the end of the show, everyone eats.
