Crawfish season is by far the best season to look forward to, although king cake season and snoball season are tied for second. For a full weekend in May, Breaux Bridge throws the annual crawfish festival, one of the best festivals in Louisiana.
Breaux Bridge is known as the “Crawfish Capital of the World,” so of course, the Crawfish Festival would be held here.
Breaux Bridge Crawfish Festival/Facebook It all takes place at Parc Hardy in Breaux Bridge May 6-8, 2022. Fun fact: the festival began back in 1960, just one year after the Louisiana Legislature named the town the Crawfish Capital of the World.
The weekend is chock-full of events.
