We Love Cajun & Zydeco Music As Much As You Do!

THE BON TEMPS SOCIAL CLUB OF SAN DIEGO was established with its first dance on Valentine’s Day in 1991 to spread the love of Louisiana Cajun dancing to the San Diego community. Since that time the music has changed to include Creole zydeco in its various forms, and San Diego has embraced the Louisiana music and culture wholeheartedly. Our love of music is not limited to Cajun & Zydeco. Through our newsletter, Facebook and website, you can find great info on upcoming live music and dance events throughout San Diego County.

Each year we celebrate live music and dance through our 4-Day Music & Food Festival Gator By The Bay.  We host some dances in San Diego’s beautiful Balboa Park through the year and love to spread the word about live music all year long. We hope you’ll join us at upcoming events. The philosophy of the club is “If you’re smiling you’re doing it right” — which is another way of saying everyone at any age or skill level is welcome at our dances.

If You’re not Smiling, You’re not Dancing!
