Mudbug Madness
What Road Trips Foodie could resist a foodie fest called *Mudbug Madness?
This four day festival celebrating Louisiana crawfish and cuisine is set for Memorial Day Weekend (May 21 through 24, 2015) at Festival Plaza, Crockett Street at Spring Street, Shreveport, Louisiana. Hours are 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. each day.
It all started 32 years ago, when a group of North Louisianans got tired of hearing: “You people in Shreveport are more like Texans than anything else. You’re hardly a part of Louisiana, at all.” They gathered in the Downtown Shreveport Unlimited office to organize their ranks and pay homage to the most cherished of Louisiana institutions – the crawfish boil.
Since then they’ve added lots of entertainment, arts and crafts vendor and activities for kids (not to mention beer). A good time is had by all.
*You do know that “mudbug” is Looziana for crawfish, right?
