Enjoy fresh food prepared onsite (seafood, meats, vegetarian) by local restaurants, delicious drinks and live on-stage musical performances.

Welcome to the premiere of the St. Petersburg Seafood & Music Festival to be held in North Straub Park on March 25-26, 2017. The event is co-hosted by the City of St. Petersburg and the St. Petersburg Arts Alliance. Join us for a weekend of food and live music while enjoying the downtown community and camaraderie of family and friends! Hours are both Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 8 pm. General admission is $3 and the VIP Tent admission is $50.

The St. Petersburg Seafood & Music Festival is created as all good dishes: by incorporating and blending the finest ingredients. We offer fresh seafood dishes prepared onsite by top local restaurants and food purveyors mixing a variety of ingredients. All seafood dishes are created using indigenous and sustainable ocean resources from Florida’s coastal waters. Meat dishes and a variety of vegetarian entrees also are offered.

Musical entertainment consists of live on-stage performances by creative and talented musicians from both the local, regional and national circuit. Genres of music vary from soul, classic rock, R&B, jazz, salsa and more. Musical groups this year include Jah Movement, Orchestra Fuego, Mike Tozier, the Greg Billings Band, Twinkle & Rock Soul Radio, RJ Howson and the Sarasota Steel Pan Band. Performance times are listed on our Seafood & Music Festival website: www.seafoodfestivals.com where you can also see videos of their live performances.
