The
Isleton Crawdad
Festival, presented
by the Isleton Chamber
of Commerce,
is the largest consumption
of crawdads outside of
Louisiana. Over a 3-day
period, the small town
of Isleton, CA (Population
860) will hold the 23rd
Annual Crawdad Festival
on Father's Day weekend.
The City of Isleton is
in the "heart of
the California Delta"
between antioch and Sacramento
on Highway 160. The Crawdad
Festival is a real Delta
festival geared
for the entire family.
The
Festival has been Isleton's
signature event since
1986, regularly drawing
50,000 or more people
to the tiny Delta town
with a fun mix of spicy
food and cajun music.
More
than 24,000 pounds of
boiled crawfish will
be consumed in just
3 days, and perhaps
as much beer and wine.
We will have bands playing
cajun, blues, and jazz
sounds. There's also
a mile of craft vendor
booths. A
carnival and a special area
for young children will also
offer a variety of games
and fun.
