About the Festival
The Seafood Festival
celebrates our community
by bringing families and
friends together in a joyful
and fun environment to
sample the local catch.
This family-friendly event
was created to showcase
local seafood and the Keys’
commercial fishing
industry by providing the
freshest seafood available.
Each year our fishermen
and women are proud to
offer the community a
variety of seafood at
reasonable prices.

management, FKCFA takes
an active role in our
community focusing our
efforts on both short and
long-term benefits for our

responsibility through trap
design studies and trap
cleanup programs. [more
