Fans of crawfish and elbow room have reason to rejoice: There will be more space for tail-pinching/head-sucking/whatnot during this year’s Porter-Leath’s annual Rajun Cajun Crawfish Festival.
Pending permit approval, Riverside Drive will be closed between Union and Beale. Rob Hughes of Porter-Leath estimates adding this area to the Wagner-Riverside spot will expand the festival as much as 25 percent.
