“Boating and fishing are a major attraction and a way of life here on the Treasure Coast, and with the current water quality issues in the St. Lucie River Estuary and Indian River Lagoon, we created the Stuart Seafood Festival three years ago with the intent to bring businesses together to support our River, while celebrating our beloved community” said event organizer Lainey Ruskay.

Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets and chairs to relax on the green and enjoy the live music and entertainment.
