One of downtown Carthage’s favorite spring traditions is back! The 6th Annual Downtown Tunes & Tails Crawfish Boil and Live Music Event will take place Saturday, April 25, 2026, bringing together great food, live music, and a fun evening in the heart of downtown.

This annual event has become a community favorite, combining a delicious crawfish boil with outstanding live music and a lively downtown atmosphere. Friends, families, and music lovers gather each year to enjoy good food, great entertainment, and a wonderful night together in Carthage.

Guests will be treated to live performances by Chase Dawson & The Southern Impact Band along with the always popular Dusty Boots Band. With two great bands taking the stage, the evening promises plenty of music to keep the crowd entertained throughout the night.

Of course, the star of the evening is the crawfish boil, where attendees can enjoy piles of perfectly seasoned crawfish and all the fixings while relaxing with friends and enjoying the music.
