# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Louisiana Crawfish: A Succulent History of the Cajun Crustacean
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 26 Apr, 2026 at 03:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Join author Sam Irwin at the Main Library at Goodwood on Sunday, April 26 at 3 p.m. for a presentation of his book, Louisiana Crawfish: A Succulent History of the Cajun Crustacean. The hunt for red crawfish is the thing, the raison d’etre, of Acadian spring. Introduced to Louisiana by the swamp dwellers of Sam Erwin the Atchafalaya Basin, the crawfish is a regional favorite that has spurred a $210 million industry. More importantly, no matter the occasion, Folks take their boils seriously: they’ll endure line cutters, heat and humidity, mosquitoes, and high gas prices to procure crawfish for their families’ annual backyard boils or their corporate picnics. Sam will discuss his book, focusing on how the ancient Procambarus Clarkii, the red swamp crawfish, emerged from the river to become an iconic symbol of Louisiana. Copies will be available for purchase and signing.
