Enjoy a weekend of pure relaxation full of great food and wonderful live music. November 29th – December 1st, 2024 – the 8th annual Sarasota Seafood and Music Festival. Fun, food, festivities, and relaxation begin Friday evening 4:30pm-10pm, continuing Saturday 11-10 and Sunday 11-6.

This seafood and music festival is created like a great meal, incorporating and blending the finest ingredients. Choose entrees (seafood, meat, and vegetarian) cooked fresh onsite. Select from a diversity of side dishes, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, and of course – scrumptious desserts.

Relax to live musical performances by some of Florida’s top musical talents in such genres as R&B, blues, jazz, rock, soul, and more. The entertainment schedule will be posted as the festival date gets closer. Last year featured performances by artists such as Christal Shawanda, Dirty Byrd, Kara Nally, Randy Stephens and the Grove Makers, Kettle of Fish, Twinkle, K-Luv and United Funk Foundation, One Night Radio, Sarasota Steel Pan Band, JP Soars and The Red Hots, and Gas House Gorilla.

The final ‘seasoning’ to the event is a marketplace of arts and crafts (e.g., painting, jewelry, ceramics, woodworking) along with gourmet food items and specialty products. Enjoy shopping during the breaks between band performances.
