NOLA Crawfish Festival to Return During Jazz Fest Season

The NOLA Crawfish Festival will return for its second incarnation from May 1-3, 2017.

Scheduled for the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday between the first and second weekends of Jazz Fest, the event will once again bring a variety music and thousands of pounds of boiled crawfish to the NOLA Brewing Tap Room. It will also feature a crawfish boiling competition, which will be judged by a panel of local celebrities.

Last year’s inaugural NOLA Crawfish Festival included performances by New Orleans icons like George Porter Jr., Jon Cleary, Ivan Neville, John “Papa” Gros, June Yamagishi, Dave Malone, Anders Osborne and more. The boiled crawfish was provided by Chris “Shaggy” Davis.

Lineup and ticketing information for the NOLA Crawfish Festival will be announced in the future.
