BAYOU PIGEON CRAWFEST UPDATE – RAIN OR SHINE! 🌦️
The Bayou Pigeon Heritage Association wants everyone to know that the 5th Annual Bayou Pigeon Crawfest scheduled for Saturday, June 6, 2026, will go on regardless of the weather.
While the forecast is still uncertain, says 50% chance of Rain.
We are already implementing our plans to ensure that our guests, vendors, musicians, and volunteers can enjoy a great day of food, music, fellowship, and fun.
Our festivities will be moved to our indoor facilities, including the BPHA Activity Center and our covered outdoor pavilion. All scheduled activities—including the bands, auctions, food service, and museum tours—will continue as planned.
🎵 Live MusicT ; The bands will perform inside the Activity Center at their regularly scheduled times.🍽️
Food Service: All of your favorite Crawfest menu items—including boiled crawfish, crawfish pies, crawfish fettuccine, fried fish, hambuergers, hotdogs, sweets, and more—will be served from our Activity Center serving line.
🔨 Auctions: The live and silent auctions will be conducted inside the Activity Center at the times posted on our event schedule. The raffle drawings will done in the activity center as well.
🎨 Arts & Crafts Vendors: We will work with our vendors on the morning of the event and arrange booth locations according to weather conditions. Vendors who choose not to participate because of weather concerns will be offered the option of a rain check for a future event or reimbursement of their booth fee.
🚗 Parking Information: The biggest challenge we anticipate is parking. Due to the recent wet conditions, our regular parking area at the ball field is too saturated to safely accommodate vehicles. As a result, parking will be available along Highway 75 and other designated areas. We will have shuttle vehicles operating throughout the day to assist visitors who may need to park farther away from the festival grounds. The sheriff will provide deputies to help guide traffic satety.
Our volunteers will do everything possible to make your arrival and departure as convenient as possible.
🙏 A Special Prayer : We are extremely sorry for any inconvenience these weather-related adjustments may cause. However, with so many volunteers, vendors, musicians, sponsors, and supporters committed to this event, cancellation is simply not an option.
As many of you know, Our Lady, Queen of Peace, the patroness of our shrine at the Bayou Pigeon Heritage Association, watches over our community. We ask for her intercession and pray that the rain holds off long enough for us to enjoy a wonderful day together.
🏛️ Museum Open: The Bayou Pigeon Museum will be open throughout the day, giving visitors an opportunity to explore and experience the unique history and culture of the Atchafalaya Basin.
👢 A Little Cajun Advice: Leave the fancy shoes at home. This may be a day when your "white Cajun boots" are the perfect footwear!
Most importantly, we ask that you come out and support the Bayou Pigeon Heritage Association, our museum, our vendors, and all the hardworking volunteers who have invested countless hours to make this event possible.
Rain or shine, we'll be ready to welcome you to Bayou Pigeon Crawfest 2026!Thank you for your support, and we look forward to seeing you on June 6th.— Bayou Pigeon Heritage Association Board of Directors
