Largo's Stone Crab and Seafood Festival is Saturday, Nov. 12

It’s stone crab season and for the first time Largo will have it's own Stone Crab and Seafood Festival in downtown to celebrate locally harvested stone crabs. 

The festival is set for Saturday, Nov. 12 from 6-11 p.m. on 1st Avenue SW just off of Clearwater-Largo Road. Local restaurants like and will be serving up dishes with this delicious fare.

“You only get stone crab once a year. Why not get the best seafood from local restaurants here,” said Jennifer Lantry, owner and coordinator of the event. 

Stone crab harvesting seasoning in Florida is from Oct. 15 through May 15. Lantry decided to start Largo's stone crab seafood festival out of her love for stone crabs.

“I get really excited when stone crab season comes around. I’m a huge fan,” said Lantry, who wants to introduce locals to Largo restaurants that serve stone crabs and other seafoods.

Vendors at the festival will be serving: stone crab, snow crab, smoke mullet, seafood gumbo, clam chowder, homemade fish spread, grilled mahi mahi, grouper, shrimp salad, shrimp and scallops, and lobster tacos. 

There will be live music and entertainment at this block party!

If you are interested in being a vendor call Jennifer Lantry at (727) 517-6821. Vendors fees are $35 for first time vendors and $40 for returning vendors.
