Crawfish Crawl 5k & Post Race Party
Saturday, April 18, 2026
Downtown Brandon | Commercial and Residential District
The Brandon Main Street Crawfish Crawl returns for its 4th year with a scenic 5K through Downtown Brandon, surprise music along the route, and a high-energy start and finish.
The race begins at 8:00 AM, with a Kids Fun Run coming this year. All finishers receive a signature Crawfish Crawl medal that doubles as a bottle opener, a cold beer at the finish line, and access to race-day perks.
After the race, stick around for the Crawfish Crawl Post-Race Party benefiting Brandon Main Street. Enjoy fresh crawfish with corn and potatoes, cold drinks, live music, crawfish races, local art pop-ups, and a downtown crowd that knows how to celebrate.
Whether you are running, cheering, or just here for the crawfish, this is one of Brandon’s can’t-miss spring traditions.

from the executive director
Welcome to Downtown Brandon — the heart of our community and the home of Brandon Main Street.
It’s an exciting season of growth and momentum for our city. As Executive Director, I’m honored to help lead the work of bringing new energy to our historic downtown while celebrating the local character and hometown pride that make Brandon so special.
Main Street is about people — our small business owners, our partners, our volunteers, and our residents — all working together to create a vibrant, welcoming downtown that reflects who we are. The work we do through Main Street doesn’t stop at the downtown district; it sparks commerce, creativity, and success that reach every corner of Brandon, strengthening the community as a whole.
From community events that bring families together to long-term projects that support economic growth and preserve our charm, every effort is rooted in connection and collaboration.
Downtown Brandon is not just a place to visit; it’s a place to belong. I invite you to be part of what’s happening here — to support our businesses, attend an event, or join us in shaping the future of Main Street. Together, we’re building a downtown that truly represents the spirit of Brandon.
