July 3–4, 2026 | Grand Isle, Louisiana
Fishing Rodeo + Country Music + Coastal Stewardship
Grand Isle is Louisiana's only inhabited barrier island—a place built on fishing, coastal culture, and the Gulf of Mexico. Pogie Rodeo is our way of celebrating that heritage and sharing it with everyone who loves the coast.
We wanted to create something that brings people together—families, fishermen, and visitors—for a weekend of fishing, live music, and good times on the Gulf.
This isn't a corporate event. It's a celebration of coastal Louisiana, and we hope you'll join us.
The Gulf is the lifeblood of this community. We want people to understand why healthy waters and sustainable fishing matter—not as a political issue, but as a way of life.
Every dollar spent at Pogie Rodeo stays in Grand Isle. We're supporting our neighbors—the restaurants, shops, and charter captains who make this place home.
Visitors and families, anglers of all skill levels—we're creating a space where everyone can enjoy the coast and connect with the community.
Pogie Rodeo is produced by the Carver Event Group—a team with deep roots in coastal Louisiana and a love for bringing people together through events that matter.
We have a deep love for coastal Louisiana and a passion for bringing people together through events that matter.

Menhaden are forage fish that support redfish, trout, and other game species.
They filter water and maintain balance in Gulf ecosystems.
Declining menhaden populations impact the species anglers depend on.
