Well, being in the Sportsman's Paradise has its advantages - like all the awesome festivals we have to celebrate hunting, fishing, and the outdoors. The Cameron Lions Club sponsors the annual Cameron Fishing Festival through August 22, so there is plenty of time for you to get your fish on in Cameron! Head down to the Cameron Jetty Pavilion at 799 Davis Road for all the fun!

Festivities begin with the blessing of the fleet at Jetty Pavilion at 7:00 Friday, and continues with a live auction, and music by Grammy Award winner Chubby Carrier and the Bayou Swamp Band. There are lots of kids activities, including a jumbo water slide and face painting.

Saturday, the Redfish Challenge begins at 6:00 am, and gates to the festival open at 10:00 for a day filled with music, food, a Queen's Pageant, and lots of fun for the whole family! Admission is $7 for Friday, and $10 for Saturday, with $15 for a weekend pass.
