Where have all the crawfish gone… to Parc Hardy for the Breaux Bridge Crawfish Festival!!!
Get your first helping of crawfish Friday afternoon as you watch the celebrity crawfish eating contest. Just like the crawfish, there will be no shortage of music for the next three days with three stages and 30 Cajun, Zydeco and Swamp Pop musicians.
