There is alot of information about Freds online. Here is a small brief history, taken from the LSUE website on Cajun Culture here.Fred's is open only on Saturdays, 8 a.m.to 2 p.m. The music starts about 9 a.m., with the radio broadcast over KVPI in Ville Platte starting at 9:15 and continuing until 11:15. The band finishes by about 1:30 p.m. Although the Tate family sold the establishment in December 1996, Tate's former wife, Sue Vasseur, known as Tante Sue de Mamou, continues as manager. Fred's Lounge may have become a shrine for Cajun culture, but that fact does not at all interfere with the joie de vivre experienced by the patrons. Or, as one visitor commented , "Can you think of another place in the United States or the world where it's 9 in the morning and you can have this much fun?"
