17TH ANNUAL CRAWFISH FEST

On June 3rd and 4th, Michael Arnone brings his 17th annual Crawfish Fest to the Sussex County Fairgrounds in Augusta, New Jersey. 2005 Grammy Nominee Marcia Ball is one of the featured headliners scheduled to perform.

This year, entertainers will perform a Louisiana gumbo of well-known Zydeco, Cajun, Delta Blues, and New Orleans R&B with a little gospel thrown in on our 3 stages, our Main Stage, the 12, 000 sq. ft. Dance Hall and the new Delta Music Experience Pavilion Stage. Artists include The Radiators, Little Feat, Marcia Ball, Rebirth Brass Brand, Henry Butler, Corey Harris, Steve Riley and The Mamou Playboys, Chris Ardoin, Charivari, Creole Cowboys, Papa Mali, Funk 'N' Gumbo and The Bluerunners.

This year The Tipitina's Foundation will have a post-Katrina exhibit at the festival. The Tipitina's Foundation is a non-profit organization created by the folks of the world famous New Orleans Tipitina's nightclub. Tipitina's is dedicated to helping rebuild New Orleans' music culture following Hurricane Katrina.
