Rhythm & Roots Festival

My husband and I are thinking of something to do for the long Labor Day weekend and we are considering the Rythm %26amp; Roots Festival in Chrlestown RI (we are from Boston). I only have a computer in work and it is blocking the Rythm %26amp; Roots Festival website, so I can%26#39;t get a list of the performers. Is it mostly cajun and zydeco? What type of music is there? What about dancing? Other than camping are there hotels to stay in the area? What about restaurants or night life for the over 40 crowd? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Rhythm %26amp; Roots Festival

RIresident, thanks for posting the entertainment schedule. Year over year this is a very well attended soiree. The same people return year after year and how they love to dance. There are lots of good reastaurants in the area but if you truly love this type of music you won%26#39;t care much about the area night life.
