Brews, Boils & Bubbles Festival Coming to Lakefront this May

NEW ORLEANS (press release) – Organizers of the National Fried Chicken Festival (FCF) are adding another food festival to their portfolio this year with the announcement of Brews, Boils & Bubbles (BBB), a new boiled seafood and cuisine festival, pairing flavorful and spicy boiled dishes with craft beers and champagnes. BBB will debut on the New Orleans Lakefront on Saturday, May 11, from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the same location as FCF along Lakeshore Drive at Franklin Avenue (behind the UNO Lakefront Arena). 

Nothing is more representative of Louisiana or brings people together like boiled seafood. Attendees will have the opportunity to sample hot, spicy, full-of-flavor boils – from seafood to meats and everything in between – by top restaurants from across the state, paired with all their favorite beverages and libations while enjoying all-day entertainment from top musical acts, games, photo ops, and much more.

“Brews, Boils & Bubbles pays homage to the rich history and culture surrounding seafood boils across the state while introducing festival goers to new ways to enjoy some of their favorite foods,” said BBB and FCF Executive Producer Cleveland Spears, III. “Boils have been bringing people together across Louisiana for generations – regardless of race, ethnicity, or background – and that’s exactly what we aim to achieve with all of our festivals. We’re so excited to introduce this new concept as we continue to solidify New Orleans as one of the top food destinations in the world.”

BBB is a ticketed event for ages 21 and up, with general admission tickets starting at $30. Those looking to upgrade their festival experience can choose from two luxurious VIP lounge experiences, including the Brews & Bugs VIP Lounge presented by Urban South package with two pounds of hot, boiled crawfish with fixings and an open bar with local craft beer options from Urban South, or the Rosé & Lobster VIP Lounge presented by Veuve Clicquot and Minuty, which comes with a freshly-boiled lobster meal from Drago’s and the choice of a bottle of champagne from Veuve Clicquot or Moët & Chandon or two bottles of still rosé wine from Minuty.

BBB is made possible through the support of various partners, including Urban South, Corona, Modelo, Veuve Cliquot, Minuty, Coca-Cola, and more.
