This year’s event, which will take place from Thursday, July 25, to Saturday, July 27, offers a diverse range of activities, entertainment, and flavorful food.
The festivities kick off on Thursday, July 25, with daylight fishing beginning at 11 AM and the pavilion opening to the public for registration, food, merchandise, and educational booths. Families can also look forward to the children’s scale opening at Grand Isle Marina, followed by thrilling children’s crab races at 2 PM. Everyone is invited to join President Kristine Russell, Admiral Jason Bergeron, and Queen Emma Willingham at the President’s Welcome Party in the evening, featuring boiled shrimp and a cash bar. The night will be capped off with a lively performance by the Peyton Falgoust Band at the Pavilion and a $500 giveaway.
On Friday, July 26, the Pavilion reopens for another fun-filled day. The children’s scale and crab races continue, and DJ FROZEN will keep the energy high with music throughout the day. The evening will feature an exciting performance by Ryan Foret and Foret Tradition at the Pavilion and another chance to win $500 in the giveaway.
The festival peaks on Saturday, July 27. Once again, the Pavilion will open to the public, and in the evening will be an entertaining performance by WISEGUYS. That even will also bring the highly anticipated Rodeo Awards for Top Fishermen and Women, followed by the grand prize drawing for $10,000 in cash.
