The Breaux Bridge Crawfish Festival has become one of the largest gatherings of world famous Cajun, Zydeco and Swamp Pop musicians and plays host to over 30 bands on three stages during the three-day festival. Music fills the air from morning into night at Parc Hardy! Check out this year’s line-up of musicians! Cajun and Zydeco music, along with accordion making, Cajun dance & cooking demonstrations are showcased here. We also highlight aspects of our unique culture such as Bourrée, a traditional Cajun card game.
Nothing is as unique to Cajuns as eating crawfish during festival weekend. You’ll enjoy tasting crawfish prepared in every imaginable way—fried, boiled, in an étouffée, bisque, boudin, pie or jambalaya, and crawdogs, along with other Cajun favorites (shrimp, crab, gumbo, red beans and rice, just to name a few). Also it has Crawfish Races, Cajun & Zydeco Dance Contests, Crawfish Etouffée Cook-Off,Arts, Crafts & Specialty Items, Carnival Midway and Eating Contest.
