THE CRAWDAD FESTIVAL
The Crawdad Festival Mission.
The Crawdad Festival, now entering its third year, has become a meaningful tradition in Sacramento, blending entertainment with community engagement and support for local businesses. As a small business, we’re committed to creating opportunities for economic growth and community connection. Bringing the Crawdad Festival to Sacramento has allowed us to give back by generating employment opportunities and providing a platform where small business owners can showcase their unique products and services to thousands of attendees.
Our mission extends beyond festival entertainment; it’s about fostering a vibrant marketplace that highlights the creativity and hard work of small businesses while enhancing the cultural landscape of Sacramento. Each year, we strive to expand these opportunities, empowering local vendors and community members alike to be part of something that benefits the entire region. Through our commitment to community support and economic development, the Crawdad Festival has become more than just an event—it’s a celebration of local talent, resilience, and community spirit.
A little info about the festival..
The Crawdad Festival, LLC, is the proud orchestrator of "The Crawdad Festival," a vibrant celebration that emerged as the largest crawfish festival in Northern California. Established in 2022, our company triumphantly launched this drawing an astounding crowd of over 70,000 participants—a testament to our commitment to delivering unforgettable experiences.
Fueled by the resounding success of our inaugural year, we strategically decided to relocate the festival from Isleton, California to Sacramento, California, aiming to provide an even more enriched and enjoyable experience. Our move provided numerous advantages, including ample parking, enhanced accessibility, reduced traffic, and proximity to a range of hotels catering to out-of-town travelers.
At The Crawdad Festival, we pride ourselves on curating a community-oriented, multicultural, and family-centric event. Scheduled annually for Father's Day Weekend, our festival brings together diverse audiences to immerse themselves in the lively atmosphere. The essence of Cajun cuisine, live music, family activities, and parades converges to honor Father's Day Weekend, creating a dynamic and inclusive environment.
Our dedication to authenticity shines through in the culinary delights we offer. Indulge in the taste of Louisiana with thousands of pounds of specially imported crawdads from Louisiana crawdad farms. Beyond crawdads, our diverse range of delectable options from various vendors includes fried alligator, frog legs, catfish, gumbo, bayou chicken, colossal barbecued turkey legs, and other Louisiana-inspired desserts.
Music enthusiasts will find a haven at our festival, where live bands deliver blues, jazz, rhythm & blues, rock, country and Louisiana Zydeco, infusing energy into the festivities. For those feeling adventurous, our dance contest provides a platform to showcase moves and compete for exciting prizes.
Families are at the heart of our event, and the Kids Zone caters to the little ones and the young at heart. Carnival rides, games, face painting, a magic show, balloon twisting, youth performances, and more ensure a day filled with joy and entertainment.
As the largest Crawdad Festival in Northern California, our event has become the ultimate kickoff to summer. We invite fathers and families to join us, creating cherished memories and celebrating the spirit of community, culture, and cuisine.
The Crawdad Festival, LLC, is not just an event—it's an annual tradition that brings people together for an unforgettable experience.
