Thank you for joining us at the 2025 Syracuse Crawfish Festival!
Despite a little rain, thousands of neighbors came together in Clinton Square to make this year’s Crawfish Festival a huge success!! Nearly 20 food stands and trucks served up everything from crawfish, shrimp, and lobster to pulled pork, pizza, and local favorites. Families packed the Kids Zone, enjoying carnival games, face painting, crafts, magic, and more. Music filled the day with incredible performances from Velvet Moon, Jason on Guitar, Steve Maclean, Caleb Liber, Dylan Michael, Ed Ordez, Lee Barrett, Vinny Makes3, and main stage favorites Confabulators, the Barndogs, Brass Inc., and the Ripcords. A special highlight was welcoming the reigning Miss Louisiana Crawfish Festival Queen, who brought a little Louisiana spirit to Central New York. Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate, eat, dance, and support our mission of neighbors helping neighbors.
