La Famille Arseneault is a family unit of 3 generations and 5 families consisting of grandparents, their children and their children's children and they claim their Acadian roots in New Brunswick, Canada. La Famille Arseneault are proud Acadians who have traced their roots back to Pierre Arsenault who was born in France around 1650 and settled in Acadia (Amherst, N.S. area) around 1671. This group has a unbelievable renewable source of energy that has come from deep in the heart as they continue to excite audiences throughout Atlantic Canada and the United States. Their awesome Kitchen Party shows of songs, music, dance and stage choreography is ever changing, as no two shows are ever the same.
