The annual Black Heritage Festival, which marks its 30th year, will be Friday and Saturday, March 10-11, at the Lake Charles Civic Center.

A Time Machine Dance Party, paying homage to music of the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s, will be 8-11 p.m. Friday. Admission is $10.

The festival will run noon-6 p.m. Saturday. Admission is $5; children 5 and under will be admitted for free.

Food booths will serve up red beans and rice, gumbo, homemade fruit pies, jambalaya, funnel cakes and barbecue.

Over 70 vendors will display and sell a variety of art, books, jewelry, African artifacts and clothing.

“This family-friendly event has something for everyone — mouth-watering cuisine, fabulous entertainment, and great shopping,” said Judith Washington, in her fifth year as executive director of the Black Heritage Festival.

“The festival has once again just been named a Southeast Tourism Top 20 Event, and we’re very proud and excited about that.”

The festival will have a kids zone, baby expo, fashion show and a performing arts stage.

The festival will end with a concert by zydeco musician Keith Frank 9 p.m.-midnight Saturday. Admission is $10.
