They’ll have live music, good food, games for the kids, and all kinds of fun contests. We’re talkin’ crab cook-offs, crawfish peeling, dancin’, and even a crab callin’ contest that'll have everybody laughin’. It’s a laid-back time to hang with family and friends, soak up the sun, and enjoy the Gulf breeze.

Bring your lawn chair and settle in. On Friday, you can bring your own cooler, but on Saturday, they’ll be selling cold beer on-site, so leave the ice chest at home. Food vendors will be there too, servin’ up plenty of good stuff.

Wristbands for the whole weekend are just $10 for adults, $5 for kids 12 and up, and the little ones 11 and under get in free.
