Seafood cuisine and an art show will take to Islamorada’s Old Highway and Morada Way Arts & Cultural District on Sunday, March 5.

Organized by the Islamorada Moose Lodge, the 6th annual Islamorada Seafood & Art Show brings seafood samplings, entertainment and more. Islamorada’s top restaurants and caterers will offer some of their dishes, while some of the best fish dip will enter a contest for bragging rights. 

Dan & The Coconut Cowboys and Pasta & The Lower Mat Cats will take to the stage throughout the festival. DJ Wood will also be on hand. Along with live music there will be local craft beers, dog-friendly stations, a variety of art vendors and a 50/50 raffle. 

The annual festival usually sees 2,000 to 3,000 people enjoying everything from shrimp and seafood stew to bacon-wrapped scallops. Admission to the festival is a $5 donation. The event goes from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Proceeds benefit Moose charities and scholarships for Coral Shores students.
