Breaux Bridge, Louisiana wears a heavy historical crown as the Crawfish Capital of the World (crowned by the Louisiana Legislature in 1959). The town also has the largest crawfish festival, which attracts over 100,000 attendees.
According to the Attakapas Gazette, historically Southwest Louisiana consumed about 80% of the crawfish annually in the United States. The state produces more crawfish than any other place in the world.
