Shrimp and Petroleum Festival opens membership, sponsorship drives

The Louisiana Shrimp and Petroleum Festival has opened its membership and sponsorship drives.

Over the past 87 years, the Louisiana Shrimp & Petroleum Festival has gone from a small festival representing the seafood industries to a grand event incorporating the petroleum industry as well. The dynamic joining of the two industries created an association and festival that has brought honor and many awards to the Tri-City area.

The festival will be held on Labor Day Weekend, Sept. 1-5.

"With the opening of our Membership & Sponsorship drives we want to recognize that one of the main reasons of our success is the support of our Members & Sponsors who give graciously year after year," the festival organization said in a press release. "We would not be the great festival we are without the support of our community and for that we thank you!"

Information regarding opportunities for your support are available at https://www.shrimpandpetroleum.org/membership & https://www.shrimpandpetroleum.org/sponsorship . You can also contact the festival office for more information.

"We thank you for your continued support for our great festival and are looking forward to celebrating our 87th Louisiana Shrimp & Petroleum Festival with you all!" the press release said.
