    Visitors to Pinellas County and residents alike enjoy the annual Cajun Zydeco Crawfish Festival

    If you favor good music, and Creole and Cajun food, then you won’t want to miss it! 

    There will be live music performed by numerous bands, crawfish races, crawfish eating contests, activities for children, exhibits, art displays, food and beverage booths, and dancing . . . lots and lots of dancing! 

    The  family-friendly Festival attracts thousands of participants each year. And, more than ten thousand pounds of crawfish are consumed, although the event also features a variety of food specialties (not all of them hot and spicy). But if you like hot sauce, then this is the place to be!  Various purveyors will offer the concoction for sale. 

    It’s a hot . . . hot . . . hot . . . event!  A lively, foot-stomping and booty-shaking activity with some of the best live Zydeco music anywhere!

    Another spicy hot reason to enjoy a weekend . . . in Paradise Found!
