A New Orleans-inspired spring festival, the inaugural Truckee Craw Thaw Music Festival, will bring a lineup of American roots-inspired musicians, Cajun-style street fare and more.

The April 27-28 event will be in downtown Truckee.

Festivities kick off that Friday with two live bands set up on Bridge Street outside Moody’s Bistro. The entertainment will be complemented by a selection of Cajun-style street fare.

On Saturday, there will be music, food and games designed to be a fun event for the whole family.
