The Louisiana Nutria Rodeo is a unique and exciting event celebrating the state’s rich cultural heritage while addressing a pressing environmental issue. Held annually, this one-of-a-kind rodeo brings together local communities, outdoor enthusiasts, and conservationists for a fun-filled day of competitive hunting, family-friendly activities, and live entertainment. Participants compete to harvest as many nutria, an invasive species wreaking havoc on Louisiana’s wetlands, as they can, all while raising awareness about the importance of preserving the state’s fragile ecosystem.
With a combination of friendly competition, educational outreach, and a lively festival atmosphere, the Louisiana Nutria Rodeo is a celebration of both the state’s resilience and its commitment to environmental stewardship.
Enjoy the outdoors and help save the marshlands of Cajun Country. Teams have the opportunity to hunt the entire State of Louisiana and help eradicate the invasive nutria rat species. Capturing the heaviest nutria rats in the rodeo will help you win lots of money too! Come have some Cajun winter fun and experience one of the most unique events ever!
