The NOLA Crawfish Festival is back and bigger than ever, celebrating our 10th Anniversary with three action-packed days of music, crawfish, and unforgettable fun! Get ready for the ultimate local New Orleans experience, as we continue our tradition of filling the days between Jazz Fest weekends, Monday through Wednesday, April 28th, 29th & 30th, 2025.
This year, we’re pulling out all the stops to mark a decade of good times, great music, and the best crawfish boils around. From 3 PM to 10 PM daily, soak up the carefree vibes at The Broadside, Mid-City’s fabulous outdoor venue and our home for this milestone celebration.
Let the mouthwatering scents of thousands of pounds of hot-boiled crawfish, expertly prepared on-site by Chris "Shaggy" Davis and his renowned NOLA Crawfish King staff, guide your way to the action. And, of course, no anniversary party would be complete without the electrifying sounds of Louisiana’s finest musical talent, ready to get your body moving and your spirit soaring.
An intimate outdoor setting, New Orleans’ best musicians, and literally tons of crawfish—all wrapped up in a safe, family-friendly space? It’s going to be epic.
Join us as we toast to 10 incredible years and make even more unforgettable memories. Don’t miss this year’s amazing lineup of local legends and musical heroes, to be announced very soon!
