Holly Beach Crab Festival

This sunny festival on the iconic Cajun Riviera goes all in on the delicacy of Gulf Blue Crabs, with crab bingo, crab racing, and a crab cookoff—not to mention axe-throwing, a dunking booth, sand castle building lessons, and music by DJ Troy to round it all out—all taking place along the Creole Nature Trail All-American Road at 2412 Heron Street in Cameron. Free. (409) 365-6598. visitlakecharles.org.
