The story
Delcambre Shrimp Festival in Delcambre
Delcambre Shrimp Festival puts working-coast seafood at the center of a Louisiana summer weekend, with cooks and fishing families explaining how the shrimp was caught and prepared. Waterfront music and contests run alongside community fundraising, and shrimp gets cooked into the pot, onto the grill, and into the fryer throughout the festival grounds.
You arrive to the sound of music carrying over a small Louisiana town, with people drifting between food stands, folding chairs, and the kind of easy conversation that only happens when everybody is already thinking about dinner.
