The festival is capped off with the Great Catfish Festival Fireworks Display at 10 p.m. Saturday night.

Continuing events throughout the festival include a flea market on Main Street and the museum at the old courthouse. The motorcycle ride and catfish bicycle ride are at 9:30 Sunday morning.

Steiner said the festival usually draws between 2,000 and 3,000 people over the holiday weekend.

With no admission fee, the festival is a nice family event close to home, he said.

“We enjoy having everyone,” he said. “The hospitality is great.”
