Our Story

Join us for the Annual Crawfish Festival hosted by Our Lady of La Vang Parish at St. Frances Cabrini Church – one of Tucson’s most exciting and flavorful community events of the year!

What began 18 years ago as a small Easter gathering with just a few hundred pounds of crawfish has grown into a massive celebration welcoming the entire Tucson community. Last year alone, over 2,000 people attended — and the crowd keeps growing every year!

Today, the Crawfish Festival is a major fundraiser for the Vietnamese community and a joyful cultural event where families and friends from all across Tucson gather to enjoy incredible seafood, authentic Vietnamese cuisine, and unforgettable fellowship.

🦞 Fresh Seafood –
Our crawfish is freshly air-shipped from Louisiana to bring you authentic Cajun flavor. We boil live crawfish, fresh mussels, and shrimp on-site with bold Cajun seasoning for a true Southern seafood experience.

Last year, nearly 5,000 pounds of crawfish and seafood were sold — and we expect to exceed that number this year! Come hungry and come early!

🍜 Authentic Vietnamese Food & Refreshments
In addition to our famous crawfish boil, guests can enjoy a variety of authentic Vietnamese dishes, along with refreshing tea, boba, and freshly pressed sugar cane juice.

🎤 Food, Fun & Karaoke
Enjoy great food, connect with friends, and sing karaoke with us! This festival is about celebrating culture and community together.
