Out of courtesy & respect, the Catfish Feastival, Board of Directors ask that no other association or committee impose any conflicts on the Ware Shoals Catfish Feastival. Traditionally, our once per year festival includes hard work & commitments from our board members, and monetary commitments by advertisers. We are asking that there are NO setting up or selling booths OUTSIDE our Feastival. There are multiple times a year for other committees to hold their events.
Thank you, Catfish Feastival Board of Directors

In previous years this event has brought in more than 20,000 visitors over the Memorial weekend.
