What started as a small crawfish boil for 70 people homesick for boiled crawfish in 1989, has turned into Michael Arnone's 19th Annual Crawfish Fest. To be held at the Sussex County Fairgrounds, in Augusta, NJ on Friday May 30th, Saturday May 31st and Sunday June 1st, 2008. This year's music lineup is the strongest list in the festival's history, covering New Orleans funk, R&B, rock, Cajun, Zydeco, and brass band styles along with great blues and jam band special guests who will perform on four stages,The special Friday evening performances by The Radiators, Donna The Buffalo and Mitch Woods will be on the intimate DME Stage that will be limited to campers and King Crawfish Krewe ticket holders only. Saturday performance venues include the Main Stage, Delta Music Experience Stage, and the barn-like Dance Hall with its 2,400 square foot wooden dance floor that is being borrowed from the Rhythm and Roots Festival in Ninigret, RI, and the Kids Stage. Legendary kings of New Orleans funk, the funky METERS, tops Saturday's bill. Also billed on this monster day of music are two sets from guitarist/vocalist Tab Benoit. Keith Frank & The Soileau Zydeco Band and two more sets from Donna The Buffalo as well as music from Louisiana legends Guitar Shorty, Roddie Romero & the Hub City All Stars, Mitch Woods and The Rocket 88's, Leroy Thomas and The Zydeco Roadrunners, Little Freddie King and Swingset Mamas.

Topping Sunday's lineup is one of the greatest composers and bandleaders in New Orleans’ history, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer; Allen Toussaint, who will lead a big band through his classic compositions. The bill also includes Bonerama, the innovative brass/rock band. Sunday's show also features The Nappy Brown Orchestra; New Jersey avant-bluegrass sensation Railroad Earth. Zydeco from Keith Frank & The Soileau Zydeco Band, Leroy Thomas and the Zydeco Roadrunners and Louisiana's answer to Tina Turner, "Zydeco sweetheart" Rosie Ledet; the incredible "sacred steel" multi-guitar sound of the Lee Boys; another blistering set from Little Freddie King, bottleneck guitar style blues by Louisiana Red and more enlightened kids music from Swingset Mamas. The Dance Hall will feature Dance Lessons from 11 AM-Noon on Saturday and Sunday.
