PENSACOLA — The Pensacola Seafood Festival has not yet been scheduled for 2021, and it’s unknown if it will return to its traditional September dates or if it moves to November, as was attempted in 2020.
Everything depends, of course, on whether the coronavirus is under control by then.
Go here for a complete schedule of Seafood Festivals in Florida in 2021.
The festival, which is held in downtown Pensacola’s historic Seville Square, normally kicks off the seafood festival season in Florida and features fresh local seafood from the Gulf of Mexico served by participating restaurants.
Featured local catches include Shrimp, Crawfish, Scallops, Crab, Grouper, Alligator, Calamari, Gumbo, Lobster Rolls, Crawfish Mac’n’Cheese, Grits a YaYa, Seafood Skewers, Kabobs, Crab Cakes, Jambalaya, Etoufee, Coconut Shrimp, Seafood Baskets, Paella, Conch Fritters.
Yum.
The Pensacola Seafood Festival also offers cooking demonstrations, a 5K run/walk, a cost-friendly children’s area, and other activities located in Bartram Park.
More than 170 arts and crafts vendors are scheduled to display their work, making the Pensacola Seafood Festival one of the largest arts and crafts fairs in Northwest Florida.
