A California crawfish boil with Louisiana soul. Live music, Creole food, natural wine, and crawfish by the tray, all in one lot for one afternoon.

On the stage

  • Andre Thierry, Grammy-nominated accordionist, headlining with accordion soul and zydeco
  • Top Chefs, a Bay Area collective on vocals, sax, drums, and guitar running through jazz, soul, hip hop, and funk
  • A two step dance lesson to get you on the floor
  • A DJ keeping it moving between sets

On the table

  • Our crawfish boil. Every order comes with the fixings: potatoes, corn, green beans, and andouille sausage, all finished in Viet-Cajun garlic butter
  • Pops Creole with gumbo and pastry delights
  • Petit Américain with classic po-boys

Around the lot

  • A collection of makers and artists popping up through the afternoon
  • Some art activities for the kids

About the boil

  • Crawfish from the Sacramento Delta, one of the last working crawfish fisheries in the state, at their fall peak
  • All Crawfish purchases include potato, corn, green beans, andouille sausage, and viet-cajun garlic butter
  • Spice formulated with Oakland’s Oaktown Spice Shop
  • Andouille from Livermore Butcher Shop
  • A California boil, cooked with Louisiana soul

The wine bingo card, $15

  • Two tasters, one pour from Donkey & Goat and one from Tessier, curated to pair with the boil
  • Move between both booths, stop by a few vendors, fill your card
  • Finish it, and there is a little something waiting for you

Come hungry
Bring the family, bring a chair, and get your hands dirty.
