NOLA Crawfish Fest is three days of tastes, smells and sounds during the days between Jazzfest weekends. 7 Years running, the festival brings visitors and locals a distinct backyard boil vibe with local musical legends and HOT Boiled Crawfish by the NOLA Crawfish King, Chris “Shaggy” Davis. NOLA Crawfish Fest tops off the music and food fun with a Crawfish Eatin’ Competition, a 20-team Crawfish Cook-Off judged by local celebrities and plays hosts to truly unique Louisiana Arts and Crafts vendors.
If you are a Louisiana-based Artist and want to share your craft with the fine folks at NOLA Crawfish Fest, then apply using the link below. If chosen, you’ll be placed in the artist village area of the NOLA Crawfish fest, where we will be able to showcase your art, crafts and the like. *Please note: We are no longer accepting food applications for the artist village spots for our 2022 festival.
Continuing the action, Tuesday, May 3rd, we open the door for the chance to put your back-yard boil recipe up against 9 other teams for the crown of NCF 2022 Ultimate Cook-off Champ. Do you have a secret family recipe that always gets people talking? Are you able to add that special twist that will get our panel of celebrity judges advancing your crawfish to the final round? The top 3 spots picked by our judges move on to the OG Crawfish King, himself, Al Scarmuzza. Al will blind taste the Top 3 crawfish and then crown the 2022 NOLA Crawfish Fest Ultimate Cookoff Champ.
Get ready for some action! Twist, pinch and eat. No time for sucking heads in this contest. On Monday, May 2nd, NOLA Crawfish Fest opens the gates for any challenger, big or small, to see how many pounds of hot boiled crawfish they can consume in 7 minutes. Are you up for the challenge?
