Come out and “laissez les bon temps rouler” at the Pensacola Crawfish Festival. One of the largest crawfish boils in the state will be held May 4, 5 and 6 on downtown Pensacola’s beautiful waterfront. Bartram Park will play host to a fun-filled three days of crawfish craziness. Don’t leave your appetite at home. The Pensacola Crawfish Festival brings a little of the Louisiana bayou right here to Pensacola Bay. There will be a wide range of Cajun fare such as crawfish poboys, crawfish pies, and of course, 16,000 pounds of boiled crawfish, as well as other traditional fare like hot dogs and hamburgers.

Throughout the festival patrons will enjoy great music straight from the bayous of Louisiana. Plenty of Cajun beats are sure to get people off their feet. Don’t leave the little ones at home! Saturday and Sunday, there will be plenty for the kiddos to do in the family area. Tons of crafts and games and the famous "NASCRAW" crawfish races.

Get ready for the 7th annual Cat Country 98.7 Crawfish Eating Contest. Choose from the kids, adults, and CrawDADDY divisions. Contestants from years past can tell you, it’s harder than it looks. Bring your cheering section and enter for your chance to win prizes from Cat Country 98.7.
