About Friendswood Crawfish Festival

The Friendswood Crawfish Festival sprawls through downtown Friendswood, filling the streets with the aromas of boiled seafood, the sounds of live blues and Zydeco music, and the sights of local artisans displaying their wares. They also receive some help from Justin Tolliver, owner of Justin’s Seafood Restaurant. Propelled by his culinary know-how and a generations-old vendetta against the local crawfish population, Tolliver will supply the steaming cauldrons of the festival's namesake food. Pizza, beer, and soft drinks will also be served. However, food won't be the festival's only draw: a crawfish-eating contest will test competitors' stomachs as performances from local musicians provide a rousing soundtrack. The shindig is organized by Tolliver Productions and festival goers are even allowed to bring coolers full of their desired beverage.
