crawfish festival

The first weekend in May should be marked on your calendars so you don't forget about the Breaux Bridge Crawfish Festival.

How did this south Louisiana city become known as the "Crawfish Capital of the World?" It's an interesting story!

One Louisiana town is secretly "flying under the radar" as a hot spot destination for visitors and they are just fine with that reputation.

Many in south Louisiana are excited about the upcoming Crawfish Festival in Breaux Bridge and now local police are outlining some safety measures.

The world-famous Breaux Bridge Crawfish Festival will be making its triumphant return to Parc Hardy on May 6-8, 2022.

The "King of Crawfish Fest" will take place at Emancipation Park in downtown Houston on Saturday, February 29th and hails itself as "Houston's biggest all-you-can-eat event."

The Breaux Bridge Crawfish Festival has unveiled this year's official festival poster.

The annual celebration of the beloved (and delicious) crawfish is happening May 4-6, 2018 at Parc Hardy in Breaux Bridge as the Crawfish Festival returns.

Here's a GREAT message to end the workweek. As we head into the weekend, I think the universe was screaming to me to use this message tonight. I feel like it's going to come in handy for someone this weekend, it might be you. If you've said 'yes' too quickly to someone, this message is for you. Or maybe this Friday evening you are finding yourself in jam because you didn't say 'No' soon enough, my message today could be for you as well.

I went to my bank and said...

TK Hulin was going to perform at the Crawfish Festival...

Happy Breaux Bridge Crawfish Festival weekend! This year marks the 56th annual celebration of everything we love about our beloved crawfish. Today, I found this French documentary about the festival from 1968, and it's pretty incredible.
