Highlights of the festival include:
- Crawfish Cookoff with approximately 40 teams competing for bragging rights on the best boil!
- Live Music all day: Dance the afternoon and evening away with Boudreauz & Pousson pumping out authentic Cajun and zydeco beats, plus DJ Loco Motion spinning more high-energy tunes to keep everyone moving!
