Spring in North Texas brings a full slate of outdoor gatherings, and in Richardson, one event has become a seasonal mainstay: the annual Crawfish & Music Festival hosted by The Episcopal Church of the Epiphany.
Now in its 14th year, the festival returns April 18 with a day centered on the convivial tradition of the crawfish boil. What began as a parish gathering has grown into a community-wide event, drawing families, food enthusiasts, and first-time visitors.
At its core is an all-you-can-eat crawfish experience, prepared Cajun-style with corn, potatoes, and sausage. Fresh batches are served throughout the day, encouraging guests to settle in, share, and return for more.
The festival extends beyond the boil. Live music runs from late morning into the evening, complemented by a car show and a range of family-friendly activities. Additional food offerings—including barbecue and fried turkey—ensure broad appeal.
Proceeds support the church’s outreach and mission work, reinforcing the event’s community focus. In a crowded crawfish season, Epiphany’s festival stands out for its balance of food, atmosphere, and purpose.
