This seafood and music festival is created like an outstanding meal that incorporates and blends the finest ingredients. Choose entrees (seafood, meat and vegetarian) cooked fresh onsite. Add on with a diversity of side dishes and of course – scrumptious desserts! Select from both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. 

Then sit back and be caressed by the captivating sounds of live musical performances on stage by some of Florida’s and the region’s top musical talents. Performers scheduled for last year’s festival were: Kara Nally Band, Memphis Lightning, Damon Fowler, Frank Bang, Thunder Beach, Rockin’ Jake, Gas House Gorilla, Sean Chambers, The Nouveaux Honkies, David Chasten Band and Anika Chambers. Check back soon for an updated list of 2023’s performers.

The final ‘seasoning’ is shopping a marketplace of arts and crafts (e.g., painting, mixed-media, glass), gourmet food items and specialty products. Enjoy during the breaks between band performances!
