Apalachicola’s 58th Florida Seafood Festival

Make plans to attend Apalachicola’s 58^th Florida Seafood Festival on November 5^th and 6^th!  Always held the first weekend in November, the Florida Seafood Festival is the Forgotten Coast’s most fantastic event of the year. 

Battery Park Marina is transformed into a carnival of epic proportions!  Ride the rides, enjoy live music all weekend, and browse through local and regional artisans’ booths. And don’t miss out on a trip down the row of food vendors.  Students, churches, local non-profits, and regional vendors offer everything from fried shrimp, fried scallops, and smoked mullet dip to burgers, pizza, and ice cream.
