Community Bank Crawfest

Spring means crawfish—even in Mississippi. At this fest featuring numerous crawfish boils, head to Front Street in Laurel for live music, beverages, and teams competing for one of several prizes. Every entry is cooked on-site and will be judged by a team of crawfish experts and lovers. 11 am–3 pm. $25 for gate entry and all-you-can-eat access; free for kids under twelve. Another 5 Ibs of crawfish can be purchased on-site if the boils don't satisfy. laurelmainstreet.com.
