About Terrebonne Parish Fair

The Terrebonne Parish Fair in Houma celebrates the Bayou Terrebonne country where offshore oil service industries and traditional Houma Nation Indian culture and commercial shrimping define a south Louisiana coastal community facing the most severe land loss in North America.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, shrimping and oil service industry exhibits, Houma Nation cultural displays, local seafood vendors, and a fair celebrating the resilient coastal culture of a disappearing Louisiana landscape.

Visitor Tips

Terrebonne Parish is losing land faster than almost anywhere on Earth — the coastline retreats measurably each year due to subsidence and sea level rise. The Isle de Jean Charles Biloxi-Chitimacha-Choctaw community is among the first American climate refugee communities. Houma downtown bayouside setting is charming.
