Ganado Vol. Fire Dept. Crawfish Festival

06/03/2026

Thank you for being patient with us this year. It’s taken a little longer than usual and we know y’all have been waiting on these. ❤️

This year’s Crawfish Festival meant more than most. It was our first one without Bernard, and his absence was felt by all of us. He was such a big part of this department and this event, and we know he would have been proud to see everyone come together the way they did.

To everyone who showed up, volunteered, donated, helped behind the scenes, or simply came out to support us.. thank you. This department wouldn’t be what it is without this community.

Even with the emotions, this year was truly one for the books. We’re so grateful for each and every one of you.

We can’t wait to do it all again next year ❤️
