About Cameron Parish Fair

The Cameron Parish Fair in Cameron celebrates Louisiana most sparsely populated parish — a vast coastal prairie and marsh parish on the Gulf of Mexico where cattle ranching on the chenier ridge prairies, offshore oil and gas, and commercial fishing define communities that have been devastated and rebuilt multiple times by major hurricanes.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, shrimping and offshore fishing exhibits, local food vendors with Gulf Coast seafood, and the resilient spirit of a coastal Louisiana community that has rebuilt after Hurricanes Audrey, Rita, Ike, and Laura.

Visitor Tips

Cameron Parish chenier prairies support one of the most significant migratory bird stopover areas on the Gulf Coast. The Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge protects critical coastal marsh habitat. The parish communities have shown extraordinary resilience in rebuilding after repeated catastrophic hurricanes.
