The annual festival showcases top seafood vendors from all over with a variety of catches and delicious recipes.
The event also features arts and crafts booths, commercial exhibitors, and non-profit organizations. It’s a celebration of local culture, business, and talent, bringing together the community to support and enjoy what Vero Beach has to offer. The festival also offers live music and entertainment.
The event runs from 9 AM to 5 PM and admission is $10 except for children 12 and under who are free. They’re looking for vendors and you can apply to be one through their website.
Many of the restaurants involved debut new dishes during the festival but there’s always the traditional favorites like crab cakes, fish tacos, lobster rolls, and of course, shrimp cocktails.
