Texas Crawfish Music Festival returns to Old Town Spring

As the weather warms up, the season for crawfish, crayfish, mudbugs—whatever you like to call them—gets into full swing. Beginning April 25, Old Town Spring comes to life with the 28th annual Texas Crawfish Music Festival.

The event features carnival rides, games and activities, a petting zoo, live music, and of course, endless buckets of crawfish. Local food vendors offer burgers, pizza and barbeque. Beer and wine is also served.

"We strive to bring in stellar music combined with delicious crawfish and a variety of other food vendors," marketing coordinator Elizabeth Grasso said. "We also pride ourselves in providing fun and entertainment for all ages with our impressive carnival and games. Last year was a huge success and we are only planning on going up from here."

The 2013 Texas Crawfish Music Festival attracted the largest attendance in 27 years, and with a variety of live performances and new entertainment options event organizers are expecting the event to draw a large crowd, Grasso said.
