How often to you get a chance to feed body and soul, while simultaneously helping the local arts community and the seafood industry? It'll be all that and more at the Lake Charles Arts & Crabs Festival, plus plenty of crab-centric cuisine, of course. For $40, festival-goers get unfettered access to an extensive crab and beer tasting, with restaurants each offering a crab dish such as crab cakes, crab au gratin, crab ceviche, or crab gazpacho. Each dish will be paired with a complementary beer sample from Crying Eagle Brewing. At the end, the chefs count their tips and declare a crowd favorite in the Best Crab Dish competition. As the sun begins to set, lend an ear to the live music in the air. 5 pm–8 pm at the Burton Complex. artscouncilswla.org or (337) 439-2787. Must be 21 or older.
