What? Why would 100,000 plus people drive from Houston 3 hours for a crawfish festival?
There are a lot of people that drive from Houston but I don't think it's 100k people. There are well over that number of attendees for the entire festival though.

It's not that bad. Stick to the day time. It gets dark early if you know what I mean. Stay on the band side. Food is good. It used to be alot worse back then. I find it boring but hey, go experience it. The crawfish are good.

I remember years ago they toyed around the idea of having a black crawfish festival and a separate white crawfish festival.

Yep and there are many residents of BB, both black and white, that still refer to the black church down Main St. about a half mile from St. Bernard Catholic Church. Newcomers don't understand it...you just have to be from there to know that neither the blacks nor whites intend any type of racism in referring to it as the black church.

I'm old enough to remember with the CF was downtown and not in Parc Hardy. Lots of minorities now come in from Houston in droves and isolated to one little park area. Keep your head on a swivel baw.
Was lucky enough to go during this time. I don't remember much but do remember pulling a little red wagon around with us and having a cooler full of cheap arse Busch beer. I was a senior in high school. We went street to street and there was live music of every genre on different streets.I drank Hurricanes out of a bucket and my white shorts were red the next morning when I woke up with a hangover from hell. Not my fondest memory and proudest moment but me and my two buddies made it home taking the levee back to our small town and we were tore up from the floor up.

Yep, the main band would set up in front of St. Bernard. It was truly a town festival back then out of an Ernest Hemingway novel, The Sun Also Rises. But then there was a death due to a fight and for liability purposes, the BB Chamber of Commerce had to change it to Parc Hardy early 90's. It went to shite after that as there was a big campaign push to get Texans to come over. Started with thousands from Orange and then moved throughout Houston. The locals mostly only go to the cookoff now.

Yep i went back after they put it in that closed off area and it just wasn't the same. I moved away after that with the military and never returned. Great memories of Breaux Bridge as a teen though. Had some hot ladies there back in the day

Address all males as “ padnah “ and you’ll be fine.

I went to JF in 2019 and ended up in a fight with some idiots that were throwing piss bottles into the crowd.
