World Championship Crawfish Etouffee Cook-Off Cancelled for 2021
With news this week that the annual Rayne Frog Festival is going to be cancelled for this year, we are sad to say that it s not the only Acadiana festival to be put on pause for 2021.
The annual World Championship Crawfish Etouffee Cook-Off, traditionally held at the end of March at Northwest Pavillion in Eunice, will have to be cancelled once again. This would have been the 36th year for the huge celebration that brings together local cooks and professional chefs alike, who whip up the delicious cajun delicacy for hungry crowds.
The Etouffee Cook-Off was started in 1986 by the City of Eunice to showcase the crawfish industry and local chefs in the area. It usually draws thousands of visitors for a weekend of fun that includes live music, arts and crafts, and a pretty lively booth decorating competition.

2021 Rayne Frog Festival Officially Cancelled
While we all want to hear about more things opening up and actually being back on in 2021, unfortunately, it is just not quite time yet to put on large-scale events like festivals.
On that note, the Rayne Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors announced on Thursday that the Rayne Frog Festival will not take place this year.
This year s festival was scheduled to take place in May, but for a second straight year will not happen.
“It is our goal to produce stellar events within our community and to be respectful to the Covid-19 guidelines as well as our generous sponsors,” the board’s announcement said. “With that being said, it is in the best interest to move forward with this extremely tough decision.”
