We’re excited to host Crawfish Fest at The Harbor this Sunday and are ready for a great day, rain or shine.
Because there is a potential for rainy weather, we wanted to share a few options for guests who are concerned about the weather to help you plan ahead and stay comfortable.
If you would prefer to avoid the outdoor seating:
- Wait for an indoor table, though please note that indoor seating is limited.
- If you wish to join us another day, your Crawfish Fest ticket can be redeemed for 5 lbs of crawfish at Dodie’s Rockwall during the crawfish season.
- Alternatively, use your ticket for our Dodie’s Greenville Crawfish Fest on Sunday, April 19 at Dodie’s Cajun Kitchen, 2205 Lee St, Greenville, TX 75401. You can learn more about Dodie’s Greenville Crawfish Fest event here.

SUPPORTING A GREAT CAUSE
Dodie’s Rockwall Crawfish Fest proudly benefits Angel Camp, a J.E.R. Chilton YMCA at Rockwall program which serves children with special needs.
Just like in previous years, Dodie’s Rockwall will be boiling more than 2,000 pounds of crawfish during Crawfish Fest to help raise funds for this incredible program. Every ticket purchased helps support Angel Camp and allows more children to participate in the program free of charge.
With the support of community partners and events like Crawfish Fest, Angel Camp is able to provide summer camp experiences for children with special needs at no cost to their families.
When you purchase a ticket and take part in Crawfish Fest, you’re directly helping support Angel Camp and the children it serves. So join us for a day of great food, live music, and lakeside fun — all while supporting a great cause!
