The museum is open during Cajun Festival June 18th and 19th 2011

The museum will be open during the Cajun Festival June 18th and 19th, 2011. For some details on the Cajun festival view the Isleton chamber of commerce site at http://www.isletonchamber.com/.

Some of the festivals Isleton has had over the years include:

• Asparagus Festival from 1926-1939
• May Festival from 1974-1979, evolved into Isleton Festival from 1980-1985
• Crawdad Festival from 1986-2008
• Non-Festival in 2009

The Isleton version of the Asparagus Festival featured cooking contests with stoves provided for the event by PG&E, a festival queen coronation, and state officials in attendance.
The May Festival was created to celebrate Isleton rising from the levee break west of Spindrift Marina on June 21, 1972. Note that the day was not rainy or stormy, but the first day of Summer. The Krazy River Raft Race ran during the May Festival years. Folks constructed rafts of unlikely objects (i.e. toilets) and floated them between Vieira's Resort and the Isleton launch ramp. Concern of liability issues ended the raft race. The Isleton Festival was a scaled-down community event. A conversation at the Del Rio bar evolved into the Crawdad Festival, which ended in 2008 when the entire venue was shifted to Sixth Street. The Cajun is scheduled to be on the two blocks of Main Street and the water tower/school parking lot.
