“The Crawdad Festival was awesome this year. The Bands were great, the food also. I had a plate of crawdads and they were wonderful. They were cooked as good as mine. And thats 💯. I also was treated like A QUEEN !!!. I can't wait for next year. .”

“Definitely will attend next year!! The music was amazing 🤩 all the different booths brought such a variety to see. There was even a parade with a band and dancers! The crawdad souvenir booth had cute headbands,beads, and funny t-shirts. I am speechless with how delicious the crawdads were. It was lip smacking good”

“The service was top shelf! There was no wait in line and the food was EXCELLENT! This was the best Crawdad festival I’ve ever attended. ” 

“Great food from vendors all over! Good live music! The areas were shaded, fast service! Definitely attending again!”

“This years Crawdad festival at Cal Expo was truly an amazing experience!! I’m so happy they moved it from Isleton to the heart of Sacramento. The family that produced the event really incorporated, all the great things of living in northern California starting with the food, the music, and the culture. Me, my family and friends attended both days, I can’t even express how good the food options were they had something for everybody. I really like how they created zones for kids, car cultures, vendors, artist, and the parking was easy. The music lineups were amazing, my only wish this that this was a (3) three day event. I cannot wait till next year’s event, we really look forward to this experience again.”

“The Crawdad Festival at Cal Expo was such a fun experience. There was plenty of shaded seating & it wasn't overly crowded. They had a wide variety of vendors with tons of great food choices. We also enjoyed the entertainment lineup. It’s nice to have the festival closer to home. We were at the Isleton location last year but didn’t care for that one. The space was too small in my opinion. People were shoulder to shoulder attempting to walk around. They also didn’t have as many food choices as Cal Expo. My family and I look forward to attending the Cal Expo Crawdad Festival next year.”

“This event was just WODERFUL!! It was such a joy to see all the different families meeting up with cousins they never met or new grand babies! I people watch😁 will definitely be in attendance next year!”

“Tremendous job for the community. We can’t wait to see the 2025 crawdad festival”
