Spring in Starkville means sunshine, community, and one of our favorite traditions: the King Cotton Crawfish Boil. Happening this Saturday, April 11th, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. at The Hub Plaza (301 E. Main Street), the Crawfish Boil will once again transform downtown Starkville into a lively celebration of food and community.
