The oldest and coldest festival in Louisiana is coming back in 2022. The Louisiana Fur & Wildlife Festival is making a return after having to postpone last year's festival due to the pandemic

Also, new this year, the Louisiana Fur & Wildlife Festival is having to move the festival from Cameron to Lake Charles due to hurricane damage suffered at the festival grounds in Cameron. The festival will now take place at the Burton Coliseum in South Lake Charles.
