Kids Zone

Thinking your kids will get bored and want to go home? Think again as the Kids Zone will keep your child entertained for hours on end. The Kids Zone has been equipped with games and rides that will keep your kids happy for the whole experience.

Best of all, rides are free of charge to all kiddos! I must note however that an adult must accompany the child while he or she is in the Kids Zone.

Competitions

Here at the Galveston Cajun Festival, we like to get down and dirty with our competitions! One of the most favored competitions is the Crawfish Racing Event.

This particular event focuses on two crawfish who must escape a pot and hit the tracks to see who finishes the race first. It is an exhilarating and thrilling matchup that will keep you on your toes the whole time.

Another thrilling event the Cajun Festival has to offer is the Crawfish Eating Competition. This contest judges who can eat the most crawfish in a set period of time.

The winner will get prizes and are subject to bragging rights for the rest of the day!
