Austin Crawfish Festival

After a two year hiatus, the Austin Crawfish Festival returns to Carson Creek ranch with its family-friendly celebration that features more than 20,000 pounds of crawfish, two stages with live music, beer gardens, carnival games, gator pits and local brands (including the excellent Cajun Skillet) cooking up their popular vittles. Be ready to experience crawfish prepared in every imaginable way – fried, boiled, in an étouffée, pie, or jambalaya – along with other Cajun favorites (shrimp, gumbo, catfish and fries, just to name a few). Bonus: Live music from Wayne Toups, Ruben Moreno, Jesse Lege & Bosco Stomp, Charles Thibodeaux & the Austin Cajun Aces, the Boss Street Brass Band, and more.

Sat.-Sun., March 5-6, 1-8pm. $6.99 and up.

You want, what, some king Cake, too? You got it, chérie – all served up with a procer Cavalier attitude.
