National Crawfish Day, celebrated on April 17th, is a fun day where people enjoy eating crawfish, a small shellfish that looks like a tiny lobster. Many people in the southern United States, especially in Louisiana, love to eat them during big gatherings called crawfish boils. These events are like outdoor parties where families and friends cook crawfish with spices, potatoes, and corn in big pots. It's a day to celebrate and enjoy good food, music, and time together with loved ones, appreciating a special part of Southern culture and tradition.

How to celebrate National Crawfish Day?

Invite your friends over for a fun crawfish boil! Set up a big pot outside and cook the crawfish with corn, potatoes, and spices. Make it a picnic with blankets or chairs. Play music and dance while waiting for the food to be ready. Once it's cooked, pour the crawfish and veggies onto a big table covered with newspaper. Everyone can dig in and eat with their hands. Remember to twist and peel the crawfish to get the tasty meat. Have some lemonade for drinks. Enjoy playing games outdoors after eating. Don't forget to clean up together afterward!
