The 87th annual Cal-Cam Fair in Sulphur is a fall tradition to most Southwest Louisiana residents. It is one of the few remaining 'Old Time Country' fairs in the state, where almost anything baked, grown or crafted can be entered, judged and awarded prizes. Celebrating the rich cultures of both Calcasieu and Cameron parishes, it is one fair that is not to be missed, drawing nearly 100,000 attendees each year!
The carnival, good food, and livestock show are some of the most popular features of the fair. There are also live entertainment, pageants and wildlife exhibits. Sponsored by the Cal-Cam Fair Association, all proceeds go to support the organization's scholarship fund.
No alcoholic beverages are allowed. For a schedule of events and live entertainment, contact the festival office at (337) 527-9371.
