Wichita Falls Cajun Fest: Live music, crawfish, and duck calling
WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — We have just a little over one week before downtown Wichita Falls Development kicks off one of its most significant festivals in downtown Wichita Falls, Cajun Fest! Program Coordinator for Downtown Wichita Falls Development, Jenny Ford said those attending can expect your annual favorites like live music and of course all the crawfish your heart desires. She said this year they will still have the crawfish eating contest, a mullet contest, and something new: a duck calling contest! Ford said not only is Cajun Fest a great way to get outdoors with the family, but it also ensures that downtown development can continue its mission of revitalizing the downtown area. 'This is one of our biggest fundraisers that we have. It brings in 4 to 5000 different people to downtown and it helps them explore downtown, visit shops, and be a part of the community,' Ford said. With Cajun Fest being one of downtown Wichita Falls Development's most significant events, they could use all the help they can get with setting up and running the event.
