A brand new event will take place during the 2016 Jazz Fest season. The inaugural NOLA Crawfish Festival will give festers something new to do in the days between the event’s two weekends.

Slated for Monday, April 25 to Wednesday, April 27 at the NOLA Brewing Tap Room, the mini-fest will feature performances by George Porter, Jr., Jon Cleary, Nigel Hall, John “Papa” Gros, Billy Iuso & The Restless Natives, Papa Mali, Eric Lindell, June Yamagishi, Raymond Weber, Tony Hall, Derwin “Big D” Perkins, Terrence Higgins, Dave Malone, Johnny Sansone, Mike Zito & The Wheel, Colin Lake, and special guest Anders Osborne.

As the event’s name suggests, there will also be 5,000 pounds of hot, boiled crawfish from Chris “Shaggy” Davis–aka the NOLA Crawfish King. Additionally, the festival will play host the The Ultimate Crawfish Cook-Off, where twenty teams will compete for the best crawfish boil. The competition will be judged by a yet-to-be-announced panel of New Orleans celebrities.

General admission tickets to the event are now on sale, and will include one beer and a guaranteed minimum of two pounds of crawfish. Single-day and three-day passes will be available. A portion of the proceeds from ticket sales will go to the Brett Thomas Doussan Foundation, a local non-profit that raises awareness about mental health issues.

The NOLA Crawfish Festival will take place from 3pm to 10pm each day. Take a look at the daily schedules below.
