Parking is always one of the hardest parts of managing the festival.  Vehicles parked in "no parking" areas will be subject to towing at the owner's expense.  As the lot fills, some patrons will park and walk to the venue, please note you must have a wristband inside the grounds.  Please go to the main ticket gate and purchase your entry band.

ATMs are conveniently located on the festival grounds. Some vendors accept credit cards.

 

\\LOST AND FOUND

Lost and found is located at the MHA Community Center.   Should you misplace an item, please contact a staff member/volunteer, as we will be circulating throughout the festival. 

 

\\MEDICAL & SECURITY

We take the safety and security of our attendees extremely seriously.  We understand that an outdoor festival introduces a host of additional safety issues that our staff must be mindful, and our goal is that no one gets hurt at the Crawfish Festival.  Just in case, there is a First Aid Station on the Festival grounds. Additionally, there are free water stations so you can stay hydrated!  We also have some of the finest local Law Enforcement around to assist in any situation to keep our festival a safe event. For the entirety of the festival, we have support from the Orange County Sheriff's Department and our local Constable, Mark Jones, as well as overnight security for our vendors.

You can’t bring your own alcohol into the festival, but beer is available from vendors inside the festival grounds with a valid photo ID.  Coolers are not allowed.  

 

\\WEATHER

The festival is planned to go on rain or shine.  No refunds on tickets, vendor spaces, or food booths.
