South Louisiana Crawfish Boiling Contest

The most lauded Southern crustacean takes center stage at the Southern Louisiana Crawfish Boiling Contest, a benefit for the Dreams Come True Foundation. Contestants will be judged by a panel. If boiling isn't your thing, there's a contest for eating 'em too! Or leave the competitive spirit behind and come for a good time: there will be musical entertainment, rides for kids, a car show, lots of craft booths, deejay entertainment, and more. All held at the Lamar Dixon Expo Center. 9 am–9 pm. $5 admission and children under 12 get in free. lamardixonexpocenter.com.
