“Definitely will attend next year!! The music was amazing 🤩 all the different booths brought such a variety to see. There was even a parade with a band and dancers!

“This years Crawdad festival at Cal Expo was truly an amazing experience!! I’m so happy they moved it from Isleton to the heart of Sacramento. The family that produced the event really incorporated, all the great things of living in northern California starting with the food, the music, and the culture. Me, my family and friends attended both days, I can’t even express how good the food options were they had something for everybody. I really like how they created zones for kids, car cultures, vendors, artist, and the parking was easy. The music lineups were amazing, my only wish this that this was a (3) three day event. I cannot wait till next year’s event, we really look forward to this experience again.”

"The Crawdad festival at Cal Expo was nothing short of amazing! Parking was easy and convienent, the food was excellent, the crawfish was seasoned to perfection! SEASONED, and I am from Louisiana! I know how crawfish is supposed to taste like!!! My kids had a blast, my mother in law who is 85 had a great time. There was plenty of shade, places to sit and things to do. We went both days because the bands were amazing! I cannot wait for next year!

“The Crawdad Festival at Cal Expo was such a fun experience. There was plenty of shaded seating & it wasn't overly crowded. They had a wide variety of vendors with tons of great food choices. We also enjoyed the entertainment lineup. It’s nice to have the festival closer to home. We were at the Isleton location last year but didn’t care for that one. The space was too small in my opinion. People were shoulder to shoulder attempting to walk around. They also didn’t have as many food choices as Cal Expo. My family and I look forward to attending the Cal Expo Crawdad Festival next year.”

"My husband and I had an awesome time!"

"The BEST time ever!"

“We had a great time at the Crawdad Festival 2024! Great atmosphere and lots of friendly faces! This was a wonderful family event.”
