50th annual Louisiana Crawfish Festival: 4 days of good food and fun
Tina Howell • March 20, 2025
The 50th annual Louisiana Crawfish Festival returns for 2025 in Chalmette, LA for 4 days of good food and fun starting on Thursday, March 20th -Sunday, March 23rd. Come on out to the Parish to enjoy some delicious crawfish and crawfish inspired dishes plus rides, games and live music with performances by Chapel Hart, Harvey Jesus and Fire, Laine Hardy, The Chee-Weez, and more.
The festival was first established in 1975, when the Knights of Columbus Rummel Council 5747 saw a need in the St. Bernard Community. Debating on how to raise funds, a member of the council suggested that they host a festival, and the rest is history. In 2005, when Hurricane Katrina devastated St. Bernard Parish, the festival was postponed until 2007. Once it reestablished itself, the festival became the main fundraiser for Knights of Columbus Rummel Council, which has allowed them to donate over $100,000 per year to multiple community initiatives throughout the St. Bernard Community and the surrounding areas. Since Hurricane Katrina, the Louisiana Crawfish Festival has donated over 2 million dollars back to the community.
The festival is hosted by the Louisiana Crawfish Fest Foundation with a mission to help those in need and to support community programs in St. Bernard Parish and the surrounding areas.
Admission to the festival is free today, $20 on Friday and $10 on Saturday and Sunday. Carnival ride bands are $20 on Thursday, $25 Friday and $30 for Saturday and Sunday. For more information and to purchase tickets, please visit

Team Stats (Trail Blazers at Pelicans) Final Score: 120-143 Rebounds: 419-57 Assists: 27-36 Blocks: 7-8 Steals: 5-10 Turnovers: 15-8 Stat Leaders Scoring Leaders: Shaedon Sharpe, 21; Trey Murphy III, 24 Rebound Leaders: Kris Murray, 9; Yves Missi, Saddiq Bey, 8 Assist Leaders: Deni Avdija, 6; Derik Queen, 7 My Player of the Game: Derik Queen Chrissy's Key Takeaways * The Pelicans have won their fourth game of the season. Yay ! * Jordan Poole was back tonight and he made a world of difference. His three-point shooting, confidence, and leadership were a ton of help. * Derik Queen is a problem for all other 29 teams in this league. This kid has a vision that hasn't been seen in any recent rookies, especially for a center. * Bryce McGowens was the second-leading scorer in this game with 23 points. He's stepped up in a big way. * In surprising news, Zion Williamson is questionable for Sunday's game at the Chicago Bulls. This is the first time in what seems like years that Zion's health is actually improving much sooner than projected. Whether this is a sign of Zion pushing himself or James Borrego pushing him, it's nice to see. Follow @TheKneaux on X, and follow me there too, @SportsChrissy.
Can the Saints win again?
