The 30th annual crawfish festival kicks off the weekend of April 29 in Old Town Spring, with more than 50,000 pounds of crawfish on hand for crawfish lovers.
The festival includes live music by popular artists, such as Reckless Kelly and Asleep at the Wheel. Also included is a Paul Bunyan Lumberjack Show—featuring stars from Amazon’s Family Chop series—and a Gator Country attraction that includes a close-up view of an alligator as well as opportunities to hold and feed baby gators and learn more about crocodiles and other reptiles. Also featured is a Kid Zone Petting Zoo that will provide opportunities to pet farm animals and ride ponies.

Visitors will also enjoy carnival rides, shopping, museums and art galleries, and food from vendors that includes everything from crawfish and Cajun food to burgers and vegetarian items.
Business owners will stay open after hours. Warthog Firearms co-owner Brian Fowler, who opened his business just a week before last year’s festival, said the event brought about 1,500 people through his doors, which helped jump-start his business.
