South Texas PAMA Crawfish Bash & Family Day
Saturday, May 30th
11:00am - 6:00pm
North Shore Rotary Pavilion
14350 1/2 Wallisville Rd, Houston, TX 77049
This year, instead of participating in the Texas City “Big Crawfish Bash,” we’ve decided to host our own event — built specifically for the South Texas aviation community and our families. The goal is simple: create a better, more personal experience where we can all connect, relax, and enjoy the day together.
What to Expect
Crawfish and additional food options
Beer, seltzers, and a full cocktail menu
Live music from JT and the Blacktops
Cornhole Tournament
Inflatables and activities for kids
Plenty of time to relax, network, and enjoy the day
This event is free for South Texas aviation professionals and their families — just make sure to RSVP so we can plan accordingly.
