The étouffée extravaganza has Eunice simmerin' again this year with crawfish and good times galore. And though we're pretty sure places like Germany, Thailand, or Chile aren't competing in the cook-off, we like the sound of world championship, too. Catch the Cook-Off Kick-Off Cajun Dance on Saturday night at Lakeview Park & Beach (8 pm–midnight), then come back to the Northwest Pavilion on Sunday for the main event. While live Cajun and zydeco music play in the background, get to tasting—such a concentration of crawfish étouffée this delicious is not something you see every day. And don't miss the arts and crafts vendors, petting zoo, pony rides, fun jumps and more, while you're out there. Enjoy live music by Jamie Bergeron and the Kickin' Cajuns, Steve Riley with C4, and Cameron Fontenot & the Rhythm Aces while chowing down from 10 am–4 pm. Free. etouffeecookoff.org.
