Get in the mood for seafood! It’s time for the 11th Annual Port Salerno Seafood Festival. The fun begins Saturday, Jan. 28 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. This local event boasts the best seafood that you will find at any festival, a great music line-up, arts, crafts and local business vendors, a Kids Fun Zone, mermaids, pirates and more.

“There is a reason why the seafood is so delicious,” said Edward “Butch” Olsen, Jr., president of the Port Salerno Commercial Fishing Dock Authority.

“We serve the freshest seafood and locally caught fish when possible. The majority of our seafood is prepared by the fishermen and their families. This is truly a family affair.”

The event also features Port Salerno’s finest restaurants.

 

For the fourth consecutive year, the festival was voted the “Best Local Event in Martin County” by TC Palm Newspaper’s readers. This year will see continued enhancement of the Fishermen’s Village and Market. Here you can learn about the history of Port Salerno and go home with some locally caught fish. The festival features three stages with some of the area’s top bands performing, and a new Kids Fun Zone.
