🛍️ VENDORS… THIS ONE’S FOR YOU. 👀

If you’ve been thinking about setting up at the Conroe Cajun Catfish Festival, consider this your sign to stop thinking about it and claim your spot.

We still have vendor spaces available for October 9–11, 2026 at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds — and we’re looking for businesses, boutiques, makers, creators, shops, and unique vendors who want to put their products in front of thousands of festival-goers.

Think your booth would stand out?

We want to see it.

🔥 Bring the setup.
🔥 Bring the products.
🔥 Bring the personality.
🔥 Bring something people will remember.

The festival weekend will be packed with live music, food, family fun, shopping, and plenty of people ready to explore what our vendors have to offer.

But here’s the deal…

An empty application can’t reserve your space. 😉

🐟 ALRIGHT… LET’S SETTLE SOMETHING. 👀

We want to know who’s bringing the BIGGEST CREW to the Conroe Cajun Catfish Festival this year.

Not who says they’re coming.

We’re talking about the person already starting the group chat, making plans, and telling everybody:

“October 9–11. Don’t make other plans.” 😂

So here’s the challenge:

👇 Tag your Catfish Festival crew below.

2 people? Cute.
5 people? Now we’re talking.
10+ people? Okayyy… somebody came to win. 😎

And if another group thinks they can beat yours…

PROVE IT. 😂🐟
