The Overton Square crawfish fest, put on by Bayou Bar and Grill, is tomorrow (Saturday, April 14) from noon to 6. It’s held in the parking lot between Trimble and Monroe, just west of Cooper.
For those of you driving there – BE CAREFUL. Last year the Metro DUI cops were stalking the area, just waiting to pounce on people who got in their cars after a few beers and drove. I recommend parking on side streets a couple of blocks removed from the festival – either north of Madison or south of Union. Then, when you leave, take back roads until you hit a major north-south road (McLean or East Parkway), blend into traffic and you should be okay.
With the weather forecast looking pretty lousy tomorrow (high of 60 and rainy last I checked), I’m probably going to skip Overton Square this year and wait for Downtown’s Rajun Cajun fest a week from Sunday. If you go to tomorrow’s crawfish fest, have fun and stay safe.
