Craving Crawfish?

The 50th Annual Louisiana Crawfish Festival, held in St. Bernard Parish, will return to the Frederick Sigur Civic Center on Thursday, March 20 and will run until Sunday, March 23.

You don't want to miss the culinary delights of this event. Everyone is invited to indulge in a vast amount of crawfish-inspired dishes from classic boiled crawfish to crawfish étouffée, pies, and sweet and savory crawfish beignets. The festival serves as a cultural celebration for seafood lovers, offering a taste of Louisiana's best flavors in fresh air and the open sky.

This year's 2025 music line-up will feature The Chee-Weez, Petty Betty Live, Laine Hardy, and more. Tickets can be purchased through the festival's website.

For years, the Louisiana Crawfish Festival has leveraged its platform to promote and ensure the well-being of the St. Bernard Parish community and to encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relationships. The Louisiana Crawfish Festival was founded in 1975 by the Knights of Columbus Rummel Council 5747 and has since raised over two million dollars to give back to the community. It is a mission that provides quality initiatives in the areas of school education, holiday events, community forums, medical systems, public affairs, and more.

Join the Fun!

The festival will be held at the Frederick Sigur Civic Center on 8245 W. Judge Perez Dr. and will be free to the public on March 20 for their opening ceremony and blessing of the grounds. Each day there will be carnival fun available, with prices ranging from $25 to $35. The festival grounds open on Thursday and Friday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. General admission is $20 for anyone 12 years or older on Friday, and $10 for all guests who are more than 4 feet tall through the weekend.
