The 23rd Annual Texas Crawfish & Music
Festival, one of the most
anticipated festivals in the greater Houston area, is gearing up
to bring back
the best live entertainment, Southern Louisiana Crawfish & Cajun
cuisine, along with carnival rides, midway games and unique “mom-and
pop” style vendor booths to Historic Old Town Spring
for two weekends of family fun April 17-19 & 24-26, 2009.
The signature event is the largest crawfish festival in the South
and continues to showcase top local, regional and national entertainment
on three stages from top local, regional and national country,
rock and zydeco acts.
This
year’s festival is doing more than providing Houstonians
two weekends of great food, a festive atmosphere, great shopping
and top entertainment; the Texas Crawfish & Music Festival
is giving back to those directly affected by the damages
caused by Hurricane Ike. The 2009 festival will dedicate
a portion
of ticket sales on Saturday, April 18, to
Hurricane Ike rebuilding efforts. Specifically, the festival,
working in
conjunction with Texas singer-songwriter and native son Hayes
Carll, a long
time
fixture at the Texas Crawfish & Music festival, will
donate funds raised to the Bolivar Peninsula Chamber Of Commerce
Economic
Development Fund, a non-profit organization working to rebuild
youth baseball facilities in Bolivar.
“
The Texas Crawfish & Music Festival helped put small businesses
and the community of Old Town Spring on the tourism map,” said
festival producer Seth Sanders. “Many small business
owners, and those who depend on small businesses to make
a living such
as musicians, artists and the local workforce, were crippled
after Hurricane Ike.”
Sanders continued, “Hayes Carll asked us if we could
help contribute to the rebuilding efforts and anything our
community
can do to support the redevelopment of small businesses is
something we felt that we needed to step up and do. This
allows the festival,
the community of Old Town Spring and Houstonians the opportunity
to really make a difference.”
Hayes Carll, along with the Texas Crawfish & Music Festival,
was recognized for their contributions to Hurricane Ike rebuilding
and relief efforts during SXSW events on Wednesday, March
18, by the Texas Music Office.
“
It means the world to me that Old Town Spring and the crawfish
festival, which has supported my music and career, as well as so
many local artists for years, are willing to contribute to rebuilding
efforts that are close to my heart. At the end of the day, it’s
really all about helping your neighbors,” said Hayes
Carll.
In addition to non-stop entertainment, the 2009 festival
boasts one of the area’s largest carnivals featuring
a variety of rides for adults and children, midway games
and activities,
along
with the best Southern Louisiana food, more the 50 tons of
crawfish, and the spiciest fixings in the land!
The 23rd annual festival benefits the Spring Preservation
League,
a non-profit foundation which is dedicated to the preservation
and beautification of Old Town Spring, community projects and
maintains contributions to a variety of service organizations.
