Plan the visit
Use October 9-11 as the confirmed 2026 festival weekend
Friends of Conroe identifies the 37th annual Conroe Cajun Catfish Festival for October 9 through 11, 2026 at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. The organizer publishes separate Friday, Saturday and Sunday operating hours.
Choose between a single day and the full weekend
The organizer offers both one-day admission and a weekend pass, with different operating hours each day. Use the entertainment lineup and final festival schedule to decide whether one day is enough for your priorities.
Connect the festival to Conroe and Montgomery County
The fairgrounds location makes the festival easy to pair with Conroe, Lake Conroe and other Montgomery County stops. Build the food-and-music weekend into a broader local itinerary instead of treating the ticket gate as the whole trip.
