Stone crab season is coming up QUICK 🦀🔥 And around here, that means it’s time to celebrate.

Join us October 3 at 10:30 AM at Camellia Street Grill for the Blessing of the Stone Crab Fleet as we kick off our favorite time of year and send our local captains and crews into another season with the community behind them.

Because once stone crab season starts… you know what comes next. 👀

We’re that much closer to rattling the swamp at the Everglades Seafood Festival, February 19–21, 2027! 🐊🦀🎶

Stone crabs. Everglades traditions. One community that knows how to celebrate.

09/13/2026

This is what a weekend with us looks like. 🐊🦀🎶

Live music. Authentic Southern food and fresh seafood. Local vendors to shop. Gator wrestling. Drinks flowing. And a whole lot of Everglades spirit.

But the Everglades Seafood Festival is about more than having a good time, it’s about celebrating and supporting the authentic Everglades community we call home.

Operated by the Florida Stone Crabbers Association, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the festival helps raise awareness and funds for our community, including Florida’s last K–12 school right here in the swamp. And when the Stone Crabbers are behind the party, you already know some of the freshest, best stone crab around is on the menu. 🦀

This year, our first night of entry will also be donation-based in support of Collier County Domestic Animal Services. ❤️

This is how you have a good time AND support a good cause.

Tell your friends. Tell your family. Tell your boss you’ll be in the swamp February 19–21, 2027.

Because really… who would want to be anywhere else? 🌴🐊

Our iconic giant b**r inflatables are basically a lighthouse for one thing: the nearest JJ Taylor stand. 🍻

A huge thank you to JJ Taylor for keeping the Everglades Seafood Festival stocked, refreshed, and ready to raise a glass all weekend long. We’re proud to have them back as our official b**r sponsor for 2027!

There’s only ONE thing that makes us feel this way 🍾🐊🪕🦀

The Everglades Seafood Festival. February 19–21, 2027.

Mark your calendars. Plan the flights. Bring the kids. Call the crew. Because there’s truly nothing like a weekend in the Everglades.

Three days of incredible live music, the freshest seafood, authentic vendors, cold drinks, and the kind of energy you can only find right here in Everglades City. If you’re planning a Florida vacation, put this one on the itinerary. And if you’re a local… we already know we’ll see you there. 😉

And with all this hype building, vendor and sponsorship opportunities are still OPEN! 👀

Put your business, brand, or product in front of an estimated 50,000–70,000 people in ONE weekend. Plus thousands more through our social media, digital promotion, and festival coverage.

But the best part? Your participation means more than exposure.

The Everglades Seafood Festival is hosted by the Florida Stone Crabbers Association (FLSCA), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to giving back to the community that makes this festival possible. Festival proceeds help support local needs, including Everglades City School, community initiatives, and the people who call the Everglades home.
