The 18th Annual City Auto Rajun Cajun Crawfish Festival benefiting Porter-Leath!
Kick off spring with Rajun Cajun on the banks of the Mighty Mississippi. One of Memphis' most popular events returns Sunday, April 18th, 2010 for the 18th year with something for everyone.
Starting March 26th, visit cityauto.com daily and register to win free crawfish! Ten random winners will be selected each day leading up to the festival - that's over 600 lbs of free crawfish!
Rajun Cajun is bigger and better than ever featuring live Cajun and Zydeco music – including the ever popular "Lafayette's Bayou Boys.".
The Gumbo Cooking Contest is sure to be a sellout once again! Over $1,000 in prize money will be awarded.
In addition to over 10,000 pounds of crawfish, the event hosts a variety of food vendors selling food, drinks, art and more!
Zany Cajun contests are back – crawfish races, a crawfish eating contest, crawfish toss and the real crowd pleaser – the crawfish bob.
Join us for food and fun on Wagner Place between Union and Beale St. Admission is free as always, with all proceeds benefiting the 10,000 children and families served by Porter-Leath. No outside beverages or coolers allowed. Sorry, no pets. Be sure to invite your friends and get updates leading up to the event!
The Swamp VIP Tent is sure to be popular again this year, so contact Porter-Leath well in advance to make sure you're a part of all the action.
