Florida Seafood Festival

The Florida Seafood Festival is an annual public event held in Apalachicola, Florida on the first weekend of November. Established in 1964, it features a parade, a carnival, blue crab races, an oyster eating contest, an oyster shucking contest, a 5 kilometres (3.107 mi) road race, a country music concert, arts and craft booths, and plenty of fresh local seafood. The local seafood served is made by local non-profit groups. It is the oldest seafood festival in the state.[1] The 2010 Florida Seafood Festival Oyster Shucking Champion Mike Martin won the 2010 National Oyster Shucking Championship.

There'll be no festival in 2020.
