NOLA Crawfish Fest

Fill out your weekdays between Jazz Fest weekends with the vibes of a backyard crawfish boil, performances by legendary Louisiana musicians, and pound after pound of perfectly-seasoned, boiled crawfish. The bugs are getting boiled up by NOLA Crawfish King, Chris “Shaggy” Davis; and musical performances include  Eric Krasno & Friends, George Porter Jr., and The Spicy Lips (feat. Mike Doussan, Marc Paradis, Donald MaGee, Blake Quick, Chris Roberts and Mitch Frank), among other acts. The festivities will be completed by a crawfish eating contest, Louisiana arts and crafts vendors, and more. Find tickets starting at $64.95 per day and more details at events.com.
