Pass a good time
For a mere $8, you can go to a Mardi Gras meets SXSW event. Well, a very scaled down version of both celebrations, anyway.
The 12th Annual Louisiana Swamp Romp and Crawfish Festival kicks off at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 9, around 4th and Guadalupe. Twenty different cooks will be serving up authentic Cajun food like alligator on a stick, boiled crawfish, and gumbo. We can feel ourselves getting fatter.
There’s two stages, but the times are spaced out so you can see everyone without missing much, if any, of a set. The Burden Brothers, who are headlining the event, go on at 11:30 p.m. Austin’s own Endochine plays right before them at 9:25 p.m.
