More than 200 dealers and vendors set up shop in booths offering all kinds of antique furniture, stained glass, art, vintage jewelry and clothing, Depression glass, porcelain, dolls and toys, and other collectibles. Some of the dealers come from around the region, others operate brick and mortar antiques stores and galleries in the district year-round.

In addition to the great antiques shopping, the spring and fall fairs offer a number of food booths as well as live music all day. Take a break from treasure hunting, grab a bite to eat and relax at one of the tables set up in the middle of it all.

There’s no charge to enter the fair and no charge to park. Save your money for shopping!

The St. Tammany Crab Festival celebrates the cantankerous crustacean with a huge two-day party in Slidell’s Heritage Park. The fun festival features non-stop live music, Battle of the Bands, a classic car show, boat rides, kids games and activities and, of course, the star of the show, crabs galore. 

Known for decades as the Lacombe Crab Fest, the event moved to Slidell in 2016. The venue may have changed, but the joyous celebration of Louisiana food and culture has not. Families come prepared for a day of fun outdoors, using umbrellas, hats and visors to shield them from the sun. There’s dancing everywhere, even in the food booth lines, and good vibes in the air.
