A Dash of Community Tradition
After a 25-year absence, the D’Iberville Fishing Rodeo returned over Memorial Day weekend in 2026, bringing families, anglers, and neighbors back to the waterfront to celebrate one of our city’s most cherished traditions.
As Councilman Randall Pelous shared, “D’Iberville was built on the water.
Fishing, Shrimping, Oystering—for over a 150 years. This rodeo isn’t new; it’s something we’re returning to.”
The rodeo reflects the spirit of D’Iberville.
Its successful return marks the beginning of a renewed tradition that will continue to bring our community together for years to come.
As D’Iberville continues to grow, city leaders remain committed to making thoughtful investments that strengthen our community while preserving the character and traditions that make our city unique.
“Our goal has never been simply to build
projects—it’s to build a better D’Iberville,”
said City Manager Bobby Weaver. “Every investment we make is about improving quality of life for our residents, supporting local businesses, and creating opportunities for future generations. We’re proud of how far we’ve come, and we’re even more excited about where we’re headed.”
