Fredericksburg Crawfish Festival
It’s not often one hears “laissez les bon temps rouler” in this part of the U.S., but there’s a distinct Cajun flavor to the annual Crawfish Festival in Fredericksburg, Texas.
The foodie fest takes place Memorial Day weekend on the Downtown Marktplatz (map). Hours are 6 p.m. til midnight May 25, 2012, 11 a.m. til midnight May 26, 2012, and 11 a.m. til 5 p.m. May 27, 2012.
On the menu are red beans & rice, boudin, gumbo, and — of course — crawfish. Other Cajun delicacies are also available, and for those unlucky few who don’t like crawfish, there will be hamburgers, corn dogs, and plenty of German sausage (that’s what Fredericksburg is known for, after all).
In addition, the 6th annual Gumbo Cook-off takes place on the Saturday of the fest, and visitors can taste the entries stirred up by seven different teams.
