           Each year, the Breaux Bridge Crawfish Festival promotes our culture and heritage by showcasing cajun and zydeco music, cajun dance and cooking demonstrations. Crawfish is prepared in every imaginable way. People come and enjoy arts and crafts from vendors. A carnival also brings fun for the whole family.
