The Ragin’ Cajun Crawfish Boil, one of Tennessee’s largest crawfish events, takes place at Nashville’s Walk of Fame Park on April 30 from 2–8 p.m. The event features “all-you-can-eat crawfish until we run out,” a selection of premium beers and live music. Hosted by the Nashville Junior Chamber for more than 20 years, the crawfish boil typically draws over 1,000 attendees and donates a portion of proceeds to the Special Olympics of Tennessee. This adults-only event (21+) has tickets starting at $40.
For fans of boozy brunches, Nashville’s Bacon, Egg and Kegs festival pours more than 60 breakfast-friendly brews from breweries and cideries. If it pairs with brunch, you’ll find it there: a 30-foot Bloody Mary bar, mimosas, Irish coffee, boozy root beer floats and many other creative drinks.
Food vendors at Bacon, Egg and Kegs serve breakfast favorites such as loaded biscuits and gravy, jalapeño cheddar grits, carnita mac and cheese and chicken and waffles. Each vendor offers at least one $5 option, so visitors can sample multiple dishes without overspending. This festival takes place at First Horizon Park on April 30, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
With Seltzerland, the Ragin’ Cajun Crawfish Boil and Bacon, Egg and Kegs all happening the same day, April 30 is shaping up to be a can’t-miss date on Nashville’s food-and-drink calendar for visitors who want good eats, great drinks and lively entertainment.
