Overview The San Diego Crawfish Boil is the LSU Alumni of San Diego's once-a-year Louisiana party at Waterfront Park downtown, where the chapter boils more than 20,000 pounds of Louisiana crawfish and bills the day as the largest crawfish boil in the world. The 2026 edition was the 37th. It is 21 and over and runs rain or shine. The boil is the chapter's main fundraiser, and because LSU Alumni of San Diego is run entirely by volunteers, most of what it raises goes to its mission: scholarships and professorships at LSU, one-time projects for the university, programs for San Diego students working toward college, and giving back locally. On site Seats are sold by the table of ten, standard or VIP, and on the chapter's schedule the Tiger Tents open at 10 a.m., an hour before the standard tables, with the day running until 5 p.m. Each VIP area has its own bar and drink menu. A stage carries live music through the afternoon, with sponsor banners across it and sponsor booths on the grounds. Local press has described tickets as all-inclusive, New Orleans style. Audience The crowd is built around LSU alumni living in Southern California, who bring family and friends, and the chapter's email list reaches more than 3,500 of them. Because tables are sold whole, people arrive in groups and spend the day at the same table. Brand presence The presenting sponsor is called Eye of the Tiger. It takes the lead spot on the chapter's home page for a year and at the top of the stage banner, and its logo goes on the ticket, on 1,000 posters and 10,000 postcards and on every chapter email from January through April, with two VIP tables on the day. LSU Gold and LSU Purple sponsors sit below it. Single placements cover the rest: a VIP Drink sponsor on the menus at each VIP bar, a Ticket sponsor with a logo or coupon printed on the ticket, a Stage sponsor with a 10-by-10 booth, and a T-Shirt sponsor on the event shirt. Businesses also give in kind, from event rentals and construction supplies to graphics work and crawfish seasoning.
