Hungry Crowd Turns Out For 5th Annual Montauk Seafood Festival: Photos

MONTAUK, NY — For the fifth time, the Montauk Friends of Erin and the Kiwanis Club of East Hampton presented the Montauk Seafood Festival on Saturday and Sunday, this year on the field opposite Uihlein's.

Under the tent, attendees had the opportunity to sample an array of delicious seafood delicacies prepared by various Montauk restaurants. Music by the "3Bs", crab races, face painting, marine information provided by the East Hampton Town Shellfish Hatchery and more, rounded out the fun.

The event benefited Toys for Tots, Pediatric Trauma, Montauk St. Patrick's Day Parade, education scholarships and other organizations.

After stuffing themselves at the festival, many of the guests walked to Lynn's Hula Hut at Montauk Marine Basin to relax and to try their special Hula Juice.
