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

When: Saturday, September 13th, 2025, 6:30 PM Where: The Real Death Valley, Baton Rouge, LA Channel: ABC Spread: LSU -7.5 O/U: 46.5 This will be the 72nd time these schools meet up in this storied rivalry. This game always has a story, a moment to remember, so be ready, football fans! Florida Gators The Gators enter this contest with a record of 1-1. Florida opened up the season with a 55-0 win over Long Island University, but the Gators dropped a game last week to a talented South Florida team. This Gator offense is led by quarterback DJ Lagway. LSU fans remember Lagway all too well from last season. On the season, Lagway is 38/51, with 342 passing yards and 4 TDs. Jadan Baugh is the leader in the backfield. The leading pass catchers on this team are Vernell Brown III, Eugene Wilson III, and Hayden Hansen. The Gator defense is a solid unit. Jaden Robinson and Myles Graham are the leading linebackers. Tyreak Sapp is the leader on the defensive line. LSU Tigers The Tigers are coming off of a "disappointing" victory against Louisiana Tech. The Tigers have a chance to bury the Gators' dreams for the season in this game. This game being in Death Valley helps out the Tigers tremendously. The Tigers better be ready to get on the Gators early and often because this is an upset Gator team with a big upset on the mind. KEYS TO THE GAME - Can the Tigers establish a running game? The leaders on this team need to get up. - Will the Tigers' defense keep up the red-hot start to the season? - Will Braelin Moore be back on the field? This is a mad Florida team who would love to upset the Tigers in this rivalry. Can the Tigers contain DJ Lagway? Fun Fact: Florida running back coach Jabar Juluke was born in New Orleans. He was the running back coach at LSU in 2016. Thank you for checking out my article. Follow me on X (the artist formerly known as Twitter) @eazytro
