A seafood festival in Rhode Island conjures some of the loveliest sights and smells. But add that to the fall season and it becomes magical. When we think of autumn fairs, our thoughts usually turn to pumpkin picking, hayrides, and apple cider donuts. You might be a bit surprised to discover that one of the most popular fall festivals in New England is this delightful event. Whether you’re a first-time attendee or a repeat visitor, you won’t find a more delicious way to spend an autumn day. Let's check out some of the fun to be had at this Rhode Island seafood festival!
Celebrate fall at the most scrumptious festival of the season - the 33rd Annual Bowen’s Wharf Seafood Festival - slated for Oct. 19 and 20, 2024.
This is a celebration of some of the best seafood in Rhode Island!
The free admission festival has even earned recognition from Coastal Magazine, scoring a spot on the list of “10 Fabulous Fall Festivals on the Coast.”
Rain or shine, the annual festival promises a whole lot of deliciousness honoring the “Harvest of the Sea.”
If you’re a seafood lover, you will probably feel like you’re in paradise. Try a collection of seafood favorites – from fish tacos to lobster rolls, stuffies, chowder, and fried calamari. We enjoy the fresh fixings at the raw bar.
Don’t worry if not everyone in your group is a seafood fan.
Plenty of other goodies are available, including kettle corn and donuts. Wash it all down with a cold beer, signature cocktail, or frozen lemonade.
As you indulge in some of the best seafood in New England, tap your feet to the live entertainment scheduled throughout the weekend.
Enjoy the live beats from area musicians: Folk, Caribbean, surf rock, and blues music are some of what you'll hear. The lineup is yet to be announced.
The festival will run from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
