Come on out and pinch some tail

It’s crawfish time along the Gulf Coast, and Bamboo Willie’s makes it easy to enjoy this tiny delicacy! Join the crowd for the Ninth Annual Crawfish Festival with three stages of live music, a Kids Zone, and a Merchants Sidewalk Sale. Over three tons of Crawfish will be sold!

Crawfish recipes are passed from generation to generation in Southern Louisiana, and most people who love to eat them would never dare attempt to prepare them.

So leave the preparation to the experts, and enjoy a tray of the little “mud bugs,” as Cajuns affectionately call them, during the Bamboo Willie’s Crawfish Festival April 16 - 18 on Pensacola Beach.

Bamboo Willie’s will be running specials all week end long, so grab either a small tray to enjoy by yourself, or a large one to share with friends. The crawfish will be seasoned to perfection and complimented by the usual sides including potatoes and corn.

Every year, folks in Southern Louisiana look forward with anticipation to the arrival of Springtime when the crawfish season gets in full gear, and friends and family get together to enjoy this fantastic Cajun delicacy. There is always plenty of fun and music during such get -togethers, and you won’t be disappointed by the Bamboo Willie’s Crawfish Festival because live music will be provided all weekend long.

The festival begins Friday, April 16 on Bamboo Willie's Stage at 4 p.m. with Backseat Romeo and continues at 10 p.m. with Eleven. The Three Amigos will take the Bimini Stage at 7 p.m.

Enjoy a lazy Saturday start time of 11 a.m. and get your table before Schofield takes the Bamboo Willie's Stage at noon, followed by Tout Les Soir at 5 p.m. and The Park Bandplan at 10. Make plans to hang out and enjoy the beautiful day and party into the moonlit evening.

Sunday, April 18, the Crawfish Festival starts at noon just in time for lunch in the sun. Tout Les Soir takes the Bamboo Willie's Stage at 1 p.m. followed by Three Amigos at 6 p.m.

Whether you call them crawfish, crayfish, crawdads or mudbugs, you’ll enjoy the hot, spicy treat and a cool beer at Bamboo Willies.

Get on out and pinch some tail... your going to love it!
