NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — The 77th annual Big Bass Fishing Rodeo and Fistival is heading back to New Orleans City Park on March 28, 2026.

Fishing connoisseurs of all ages have the opportunity to experience the rich history of the “oldest freshwater fishing rodeo in the nation.”

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries and the City Park Conservancy will host this event, which will have various categories and activities for everyone and all skill levels. In addition to this, the events will have both youth and adult divisions for anglers to compete, according to LDWF officials.

Some of the events include the Battle for the Bass, Boats on the Bayou, Cichlid and Bream Trim and the Fishtival.
