Swollfest

Anglers, unite! Grand Isle's Sand Dollar Marina plays host to Swollfest, an annual fishing rodeo featuring live music, food, and of course, lots and lots of fishing. Held over a long weekend in June, Swollfest invites anglers to reel in the best of Sportsman's Paradise in five divisions: inshore, offshore, deep drop, kayak, women, and children. Proceeds go to organizations that benefit children and veterans. swollfest.com.
