This Amazing Seafood Festival In Florida Is The Best Way To Start The New Year

It's never too early to start planning for the unique events that take place throughout Florida. In fact, just a mere month away is one of the most spectacular seafood festivals that our great state has to offer. We’re talking fresh seafood, nautical vendors, live music, a boat show, and so much more. Mark your calendars, Floridians! Because you do not want to miss this festival.

One of the greatest celebrations of seafood in the south is back and better than ever in 2019.

The Florida Keys Seafood Festival takes place on January 19th and 20th, 2019, inviting guests from all over to indulge in fresh seafood and fun times.

This family-friendly event was created in order to highlight the local seafood in the Keys, as well as showcase the commercial fishing industry.

Each year, The Florida Keys Seafood Festival goes all out—meaning that each plate of seafood offered up is caught fresh at more than reasonable prices.

The festival itself has so much to offer in terms of seafood, from fries fish baskets to grilled spiny lobster platters, to stone crab claws, smoked fish dip, conch chowder, and so much more.

You can purchase a mug for beer and keep going back for refills at a discounted price throughout the warm, sunny afternoon.

There is also a bevy of entertainment too, from the raffle to have $250 in seafood shipped to your home, to the new boat show, the local celebrity chef demos, and even a children’s eco discovery zone.

You won’t go home from the festival hungry, that’s for sure, especially because the fresh seafood just keeps pouring in.

But you probably won’t go home empty-handed either, with the various vendors that set up shop throughout the weekend to sell their local and homemade goods.

What could be better than welcoming in the new year with a fresh plate of stone crab claws and an iced cold beer as live music drifts throughout the Florida Keys?

Mark your calendars for the 2019 Florida Keys Seafood Festival for a seafood soiree the whole family will love.
