Road Trips Foodies come for — the food! Concessions both days will offer a low country crawfish boil, Crawfish Woodbine (Etoufée), homemade desserts, barbecue, funnel cakes, ice cream, and boiled peanuts. The festival cooks close to 4,000 pounds of crawfish each year and draws roughly 20,000 people.
The Crawfish Festival is sponsored by the Woodbine Lions Club in partnership with the Woodbine Citizens Steering Committee. Lions Club members cook the low country boil.
The festival benefits the Lions Club’s charitable activities such as the Lighthouse, Camp for the Blind, and Leader Dog program as well as many local projects including a scholarship given to a Camden County High School student pursuing a vocational/technical education and projects benefiting Woodbine Elementary School.
