The Deering Seafood Festival is a non-stop celebration of nature's beauty and bounty, filled with plenty of fresh seafood, chef demos, live entertainment and activities for the kids. All proceeds benefit the Deering Estate Foundation, to raise awareness and support programming for community, conservation and culture.
While Florida’s freshest fish and seafood are always the main event, non-stop entertainment takes place throughout the day on the main stage sponsored by Shield Pest Control. It’s a day of family fun, dancing and grooving to live bands all day long, along with the world-renowned Bahamian Junkanoo and Virgin Island stilt walkers weaving throughout the crowd.
The Deering Seafood Festival offers activities that are both fun and educational for children of all ages, including Deering Discovery Cove, with fun, educational programming that incorporates interactive event stations that highlight the Deering Estate’s ongoing, hands-on Environmental Education Programs and Camps that serve more than 17,000 children annually.
For the younger ones, the Li’l Shrimp Kids Zone sponsored by Pat Brockway provides unlimited play on inflatables, creative activities and a kid-friendly menu when hunger strikes. Ongoing activities include a rock-climbing wall and the Pelican Skipper pontoon boat rides to Chicken Key, as well as Artists Lane, featuring paintings, photography, crafts and jewelry by local artisans.
