DELCAMBRE SHRIMP FESTIVAL
DELCAMBRE SHRIMP FESTIVAL – The Delcambre Shrimp Festival, located near Vermilion Bay, is a coastal culinary tradition featuring shrimp cook-offs, pageants, carnival rides, and a grand parade. Originating in the 1950s, the event pays tribute to Louisiana’s seafood industry, particularly the shrimpers whose catch feeds the Gulf South. Thousands gather to taste gumbo, étouffée, and boiled shrimp while enjoying zydeco music and boat blessings. It’s one of Louisiana’s most flavorful summer festivals and a deep expression of Cajun pride.
