Denton’s Annual Mudbug Boil Is Back Again!

For the past 14 years, Denton Has played host to a traditional event full of music, festivities and eating bugs… Mudbugs, that is… Crawfish, to be exact. This is an event that was created to help benefit many of our local charities, and takes place this Saturday, May 1 at 1211 Hickory St. (the parking lot behind Lucky Lou’s and Rip Rocks). Hundreds of people gathered together, beer, local vendors of all kinds cooking up all sorts of delicious crawfish and fried fish dishes, beer, a lineup of great bands, beer, tons of awesome giveaways and auctions, beer and a yum-yum-yummy gumbo cook-off! What else could you ask for on a lazy Saturday?

Speaking of great bands, this year’s lineup includes: Big Daddy Alright, RTB2, The King Bucks, The Heelers and Rodney Parker & 50 Peso Reward. The Mudbug Boil runs from 11 a.m.-7 p.m. and is a rain or shine event. This year’s event will be benefiting Aids Services of North Texas, Mothers of Multiples, Cumberland Childrens home, Friends of the Family and A Denton Family In Need. Prices start at $5 for entry only, $15 for all you can eat (while it lasts) and $20 for everything.

This is an awesome event that I look forward to every year that is also beneficial to the local community. So even if you haven’t done a good deed yet this year, this way you can get drunk, dance, stuff your face AND do something nice for your town all at once!
