Then at 6:00 the headliner – Jump, Little Children – will have a two-hour show.

& More

Crawfish, music and so much more. That’s what the Rosewood Crawfish Festival has to offer. So what about all that “& More?” Other activities throughout the day include the Artist Village, the Crawdaddy Dash, the Li’l Crawdaddy Carvinal and plenty of great food & drink on top of the namesake dish.
