Holly Beach sits on the Gulf coast of Cameron Parish, nicknamed the "Cajun Riviera" for its rare stretch of sandy shoreline in a state known for marsh.

For generations, families from Louisiana and east Texas have made the trip to its beach camps, many built on stilts to survive storm surge. Few places in the state offer a true Gulf beach experience.

The community has been rebuilt repeatedly after devastating hurricanes, including Rita in 2005 and Laura in 2020, a testament to how deeply people here are tied to this stretch of coast.

Have you ever spent a summer weekend at Holly Beach?

Down at the bottom of the state in Cameron, folks gather every January for the Louisiana Fur and Wildlife Festival, the oldest festival in all of Louisiana. 🦦 It started back in 1956 to honor the trappers, fishermen, and marsh families who have always made their living off this wild coast.

The festival keeps the old skills alive with contests you will not find anywhere else, from trap setting and muskrat skinning to oyster shucking, duck and goose calling, and nutria racing. 🦆 There is a gumbo cook-off, a royal court, and plenty of Cajun music, all celebrating a way of life rooted in the marsh and the fur trade.

For the people of Cameron Parish, who have rebuilt after more hurricanes than anybody should have to face, this festival is a proud reminder of who they are. It honors hands that know hard work and a heritage tied to the land and water. The spirit of coastal Louisiana shines brightest in places like this.
