What is it?

The Louisiana Shrimp Festival/Shrimp Aid aims to raise awareness about the challenges faced by our local shrimp and fishing industries while creating new economic opportunities for our coastal fishing communities and the broader regional seafood sector. With an urgent call to action of SOS: Save our Shrimpers, the festival will feature award-winning musical artists, food booths from top New Orleans restaurants and pop-ups, and a variety of youth activities, ensuring a fun and family-friendly experience typical of Louisiana festivals.
