Mandeville Seafood Festival Home Read More

Mandeville Seafood FestivalProduced by the Greater Mandeville Seafood Association, Inc, The Mandeville Seafood Festival, established in 1978, is the oldest festival held in St. Tammany Parish. Attendance is estimated at over ten thousand people per day. Children ten and under are admitted free when accompanied by an adult.

The Seafood Association is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) corporation, with a 100% volunteer membership, including the Officers, who contribute countless hours without receiving any monetary compensation.

The festival association has donated over $1,000,000.00 to various Mandeville area charities and causes. A partial listing of beneficiaries includes:

2008 marked our move to Fontainebleau State Park. This larger area allows us to provide more activities, vendors and provide a cooler environment for a summer South Louisiana Festival.

The festival will feature 20 food booths serving seafood dishes as well as alternative dishes, Arts & Craft booths, a Children's entertainment area, and live musical entertainment throughout the three day event. The annual fireworks show will highlight the 4th of July, and will start at approximately 8:45 pm. The fireworks are choreographed to music and the best place to see the fireworks and hear the music is in front of the main stage on the festival grounds. Many people enjoy viewing the fireworks show from their boats on Lake Pontchartrain.

The Mandeville Seafood Festival is one of the Official Festivals of the State of Louisiana. The festival is also a member of the Louisiana Fairs and Festivals Association and the West St. Tammany Chamber of Commerce.
