Don't be alarmed if the Cox Crawfish Boil of 2025 gets crashed by ghosts as the venue is sandwiched between two very old above ground old school New Orleans cemeteries. Feel free to wear white and be stylish, or just be casual and comfortable. We will have aprons for everyone so don't be shy about digging into a plate of freshly boiled crawfish.
