Simply put, it’s a fun, family-friendly event in which the entire Lafayette and surrounding communities are invited to attend. Tickets are sold throughout the community for $7.00 each and a ticket entitles the bearer to receive “All You Can Eat” pancakes, sausage, coffee, milk, juice, soft drinks, as well as a Kids Area filled with games, face painting, crafts, a fun jumps and more. Before, during and after your delicious pancakes, participants can enjoy the sounds of the local musical group, Terry and the Zydeco Bad Boys! Some people prefer to sit and listen to the band, while others make their way to the dance floor to work off the syrup and sausage. Don’t want to get out of your PJ’s? Not a problem! Drive thru service is also available. Please join us Saturday, October 14th from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

Who does the “Zydeco Pancake Breakfast” benefit?

Kiwanis is a family of servant leaders: Kiwanis clubs focus on improving the world by serving children, one child, and one community at a time.

This year’s event our Club will embark upon a special project called the ZYDECO PARK.

The ZYDECO PARK is a musically themed playground which will be built in downtown Lafayette. The Kiwanis Club of Acadiana has partnered with Downtown Lafayette Unlimited to identity a location in downtown Lafayette upon which to build this new playground.

Both DLU and Kiwanis of Acadiana have identified a lack of a defined recreational activity and play area for the over 1,450 children who currently live in downtown Lafayette. DLU approached our Kiwanis Club to collaborate on this exciting new project. As typical Kiwanians we have jumped in with both feet and are willing to serve the children in the community in which we live.
