Hey There, Shrimp Lovers and Boil Experts

Get ready to bring the flavor, because this year’s Shrimporee Festival is turning up the heat with Battle of the Boil: A Coastal Shrimp Showdown!

Join us on Sunday, October 18, as this brand-new shrimp boil competition brings the heat to Shrimporee with eight teams battling it out for bragging rights, cash prizes, and the title of best boil.

From secret seasonings to coastal cook-off flair, each team will bring their best recipe to the pot while the festival crowd enjoys the high-energy sounds of Wayne Toups. Known for his signature Zydecajun style, a lively mix of Cajun, zydeco, and Southern rock, Wayne Toups brings the kind of music that gets a crowd moving and makes a festival feel like a true coastal celebration.

Festivalgoers can cheer on and sample from their favorite teams, enjoy the sights and smells of a classic shrimp boil, and be part of the fun as Shrimporee adds even more flavor to this year’s celebration.

Battle of the Boil is part of the larger Shrimporee Festival experience, bringing together food, entertainment, vendors, family fun, and the coastal spirit of Aransas Pass.

More details, including team registration, judging information, and prize announcements, will be released soon.
