The Crawfish Fest will present a Jambalaya Fundraiser at Skylands Stadium in Augusta, Aug. 17.
As previously announced, there will be no Crawfish Fest in New Jersey this summer, though a return is planned for May 30-June 1, 2025. But the Crawfish Fest will present a Jambalaya Fundraiser for The Frankford Township Fire Department, Aug. 17 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. No bands will perform, but chicken and sausage jambalaya will be served.
Food orders must be placed by Aug. 12 so that Crawfish Fest founder Michael Arnone knows how much to cook.
Arnone plans to schedule other Jambalaya Tour stops in July and August, but this is the first one announced.
To order food for Aug. 17, or to find out more about booking a Jambalaya Tour stop, visit crawfishfest.com/the-jambalaya-tour.
Tickets will go on sale Oct. 1 for the 2025 Crawfish Fest. No acts have been announced yet, but in its festivals from 1989 to 2019 and in 2022, Crawfish Fest lineups included Aaron Neville, Dr. John, Trombone Shorty, The Funky Meters, Little Feat, Allen Toussaint, Irma Thomas, Marcia Ball, Taj Mahal, Buckwheat Zydeco, Tab Benoit, Railroad Earth and countless others.
There was no Crawfish Fest in 2020 or 2021 because of the pandemic, and the 2025 edition will be the first one since 2022.
