As a condition of participation in the Louisiana Crawfish Festival, all seafood (including shrimp, crawfish, native blue crab and oyster) served, sold, or prepared by vendors must be 100% Louisiana wild-caught and sourced. The sale, participation, or service of foreign or imported seafood is strictly prohibited. Links to commercial Louisiana Seafood vendors can be found under the Vendor tab of our website.
The Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry, along with festival officials, will conduct inspections and testing to compliance. Any vendor found in violation of this requirement will be subject to immediate closure of their booth, removal from the festival grounds, and forfeiture of all fees paid, without refund.
This policy is strictly enforced to preserve the authenticity of the Louisiana Crawfish Festival and to support Louisiana’s fishermen and the state’s seafood industry.
By signing below, I, the undersigned, have read, understood, and agree to comply with the above Seafood Sourcing Requirement. I acknowledge that the violation of this policy will result in immediate closure of my booth and forfeiture of all fees paid.
