From the burrow to the boil, the CrawFest is a celebration of Mississippi Crawfish!
Join us for this exciting new event where crawfish take center stage through food, music, science, and hands-on fun for all ages.
Food Trucks:
Sal & Phil’s Seafood
Dr. Flava’s Louisiana Kitchen
Enjoy live music by TB Ledford and the Accumulators, whose sound blends country blues, bluegrass, and jug band traditions.
Guests can explore family-friendly games and activities and learn from area scientists sharing their research on crawfish diversity and ecosystems across Mississippi.
