Pensacola Crawfish Festival COMING SOON 25 April 2025

Get Ready to Get Messy: Pensacola Crawfish Festival Returns This April!

📍 Seville Square & Fountain Park, Downtown Pensacola
📅 April 25–27, 2025

Springtime in Pensacola means sunshine, live music, and the unmistakable scent of spicy Cajun cooking drifting through the historic district. That can only mean one thing — the Pensacola Crawfish Festival is back, and it’s setting up in the heart of downtown at Seville Square and Fountain Park from April 25th to 27th.

Whether you're a born-and-raised local or a curious visitor, this is one of Pensacola’s most beloved events, bringing the community together for a full weekend of food, fun, and Southern flair.

🦐 Crawfish Lovers, Rejoice!

Get ready for thousands of pounds of fresh Louisiana crawfish, boiled up hot and spicy and served with all the fixings. You'll also find an array of classic Cajun and Creole dishes like jambalaya, gumbo, crawfish pies, and shrimp étouffée — plus options for those who prefer something a little less shellfish-y.

Local vendors will be serving up everything from festival sweets to craft beers, so come hungry and thirsty!

🎶 Live Music All Weekend

The Crawfish Festival is more than just a foodie paradise — it’s also a music-lover’s dream. The lineup features Zydeco, blues, country, and Southern rock acts performing throughout the weekend. Bring your lawn chair, grab a tray of crawfish, and enjoy the sounds of the South in one of Pensacola’s most iconic parks.

🧭 Helen’s Local Tip

As someone who lives and works right here in downtown Pensacola, I’ve learned that the early birds get the best crawfish! Parking can be tight, so consider biking, walking, or carpooling if you can. Don’t forget a hat, sunscreen, and a few extra napkins — it gets deliciously messy.

The Pensacola Crawfish Festival is one of those events that captures the flavor and fun of our Gulf Coast community — and I mean that both literally and figuratively! Come out, support local vendors, dance a little, and dig into a tray of the tastiest crawfish around.

🐊 See you in Seville Square — and don’t forget your bib!
