Frydown is more than just a cook-off—it’s a full-scale festival celebrating community, conservation, and culinary creativity! Cahaba River Society's biggest annual fundraiser features activities and fun for all ages with a carnival-like atmosphere that includes live music and entertainment, unlimited catfish, games, prizes, a Cahaba River Adventure Experience, photo booths, a climbing wall, craft beers and cocktails and so much more!  Bring your family and friends to choose who makes the best catfish in Alabama!
